Writing a persistant cookie

-----I previously asked this question---

I am writing a cookie like this:

#Setting the cookie for the dns#
print "Set-Cookie:$cookie2=$dns2";

I can see the cookie when I call the script directly but not when I call it with SSI. I want to be able
to pull the cookie into an order form with javascript, but the order form doesn't see it.

I think I need a "persistant" cookie but I don't know how to write one.

---------------------------
After many back and forth responses I felt I did not get my answer and slated the question for deletion.

I have since found the answer using cgi but with one final little glitch
-----------------------------

 the script looks like this:

use CGI;
     
my $cgiobj=new CGI;
#Only need line below if CGI.pm module is earlier than version 2.57
#$cgiobj->use_named_parameters;

#store CGI parameter list in a hash
#my %prefs=$cgiobj->Vars;

my $cgiobj=new CGI;

#construct cookie object
my $cookie=$cgiobj->cookie(
     -name=>"$cookie2",
    -value=>"$dns2",
    -expires=>'+6M',
    -path=>'/',
    -domain=>'.ptelproducts.com'
   );
   
#output cookie header to browser
print $cgiobj->header(-cookie=>$cookie);


#print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";#
print "$cookie_sheet\n";
print "<br>$number";

exit;


---My output looks like this

slimscience_dns=4444%0A

it should be:

slimscience_dns=4444

So, my question is:

what is this?  %0A
Where is it coming from?
and How do I get rid of it?

I'm so close, please help
