Ok, the below code has been tested. I also did the scenerio you are in, one page sets, another reads. But this is both scripts in one:

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN {
 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
}

use CGI qw(param header cookie);

$packed_cookie = cookie( -NAME    => "cookie name",
                         -VALUE   => "this is the cookie data",
                         -EXPIRES => "+2y");

print header(-COOKIE => $packed_cookie);

$value = cookie("cookie name");

print "Done<br><br>Cookie value: $value";

Hope that helped. Post anyother problems you may get.

[edit]Forgot to uncomment a line in the code. :o[/edit]
