Just being picky here but...
use CGI;
But you didn't.
$/ = "\n";
All very well, but $/ will be this anyway, most people use "\n%%\n" as their cookie file delimiter so they can format them to 76 chars/line or whatever so as to fit them in emails as well.
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n\n";
But you're printing out a badly formed html document unless each and every cookie starts <html> etc...
A better solution would be:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
my $output;
my $data = '/path/to/cookies.txt';
my $query = CGI::new();
open COOKIES, "<$data" or die "Cannot open cookie file: $!";
$/ = "\n%%\n";
rand($.) < 1 && ($output = $_) while <COOKIES>;
# for plain text:
print $query->header('text/plain');
print $output;
# or for html
print $query->header('text/html');
print $query->start_html('Cookies');
print $output;
print $query->end_html;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
