I don't believe they are experimental anymore. The Eagle book is growing a
little oiutdated concerning some of the newer features of mod_perl. It's
always good to check the mod_perl guide ( http://perl.apache.org/guide/ ),
or other documentation on mod_perl too.

The cookie handlng functions from the Apache API come from the
Apache::Cookie module. It has the same interface as CGI::Cookie, except that
it requires you to pass it the request record too. It comes with the
Apache::Request distribution, and is documented through `perldoc
Apache::Cookie`.
