Since you are using Apache, you can just plug in the cookie module.
There's a known bug in Apache 1.1b0a (*not* a public beta !!!) that
caused it to core dump when I switched on the cookie module. You
should go back to 1.0.3 which is stable.
If you want to add cookies from perl scripts, see
http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
for header information that the script should output.
