	nothing wrong with using one cookie, i guess,  but...

	...why not use the CGI module?  a whole lot more flexible (as
	well as shorter and quicker).

	(almost) from the POD:
	
	[...]
	use CGI;
	my $query = new CGI;
	my $IDcookie = $query->cookie(-name    => 'cookie name',
				      -value   => 'cookie value,
				      -expires => '+90d')	

	my $EGOcookie = $query->cookie(-name    => 'cookie name',
				       -value   => 'cookie value,
				       -expires => '+90d')
    
        print $query->header(-type => 'text/html',
			     -cookie => [$IDcookie, $EGOcookie]);

	[...]

	$value_of_IDcookie = $query->cookie(-name=>'IDcookie');

	[...]

	
cheers,
k.
