I've done some extra checking and:

1) My browser definetly receives the cookie.
2) The second script receives no cookies. I used the Dumper thing, I've also tried a foreach (keys %cookies) loop, and I've even tried send a scalar value (instead of the hash).

Is there a way to check if it's a problem with the server config, or if the browser isn't sending the cookie back? (Unlikely, since I've tried it from Linux and Windows using Netscape and IE - both of which behave fine at other cookie-enabled sites.)

P.S. Code now looks like this:

%cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
print "<br>Fetched Cookie<br>\n";
print Dumper %cookies;        # Prints nothing!!!
print "<br>Just dumped cookie hash.<br>\n";
        
if(%cookies ne undef)
{
    # We get here, so %cookies is defined
    print "Keys: ";
    foreach (keys %cookies)    # Finds no keys!!!
    {
        print;
        print " ";
    }

    print "<br>---<br>";
    if($cookies{'ID'} ne undef)
    {
        # Tried as a plain hash, hashref, with and without '->value'
        my $hashref = $cookies{'ID'};#->value;
        $username = $$hashref{'username'};
        $password = $$hashref{'password'};
        print "Username: $username<br>";
        print "Password: $password<br>";
    }
    else
    {
        # We keep ending up here!!!!
        print "Damn!<br>\n";
    }
}
