Again, I think you are mistaken. 

$ cat > a.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;
$query = new CGI;

$cookie1 = $query->cookie(
-domain=>'foobar.com',
-name=>'TheCookie',
-value=>'anything ',
-expires=>'+24h',
-path=>'/',
-secure=> 0);

print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie1);

print"<html>
<body>
Done.
</body>
</html>";

print $query->end_html;

$ perl a.pl
Set-Cookie: TheCookie=anything%20; domain=foobar.com; path=/; expires=
