This code seems to work for me if I change from nfreeze to freeze as in the code below. I'm not sure what your error means, I was unable to duplicate it. Here are two scripts that I put together to test these routines.
HTH
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use Storable qw(freeze);
my $q = CGI->new();
sub make_cookie {
$q->cookie( -name=>'Test',
-value=>unpack("H*",freeze(['1245','foo','foopass'])),
-path=>'/' );
}
print $q->header(-cookie=>make_cookie());
print $q->start_html(-title=>'Test cookie');
print "Cookie Set<br>";
print $q->end_html;
and this to retrieve the cookie.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use Storable qw(thaw);
my $q = CGI->new();
sub see_cookie {
@{ thaw( pack("H*",$_[0]) ) };
}
print $q->header();
print $q->start_html(-title=>'Test cookie');
print "Cookie Value: ", (join " -- ", see_cookie($q->cookie('Test')) )
+, "<br>";
print $q->end_html;
Update:
I tried these scripts under mod_perl also and they work in that enviorment also (Apache::Registry), I would take a look at your Storable module.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
