Here's a small proof that that "other coder" is no friend of yours. 

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use URI;

my $uri = URI->new( url() );
$uri->query(undef);

if ( my $redirect = param("redirect") )
{
    my $cookie = cookie( -value => $redirect,
                         -name => "nom" );
    print redirect( -uri => $uri,
                    -cookie => $cookie,
                    -status => 302 );
}
else
{
    my $cookie_value = cookie("nom");
    my $cookie = cookie( -value => "cleared",
                         -name => "nom" );
    
    print
        header(-cookie => $cookie),
        start_html("Redirection with Cookies and Milk"),
        h1("OH HAI, I CAN HAZ COOKEE?"),
        h2("Nom, nom: ", $cookie_value),
        start_form(),
        radio_group( -name => "redirect",
                     -value => [ qw( A one two three ) ],
                     ),
        submit(),
        end_form(),
        end_html();
}
