Sharat, I tend to prefer hidden form variables to pass data, as cookies could be unsupported or turned off by the client browser. The CGI.pm module provides an easy way to access form variables from your Perl script. The O'Reilly book _CGI Programming with Perl_ has several chapters dedicated to doing this sort of thing.
