Whoa, it’s suddenly like 199x all over. Replace cookie.lib with CGI::Cookie.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI;
use CGI::Cookie qw();

print CGI::header(-cookie => [CGI::Cookie->new(-name => 'V',-value => $EncUID)]);

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI;
use CGI::Cookie qw();

my %cookies = CGI::Cookie->fetch;
my $UID = $cookies{'V'}->value;
