I'm trying to set cookies from a CGI script, but they don't get set on the filesystem.

Unless you specify that you want a persistent cookie, there is no reason why the browser should save it to the filesystem. A session cookie could (should?) be kept entirely in memory.

The script diplays in the browser fine, but still no cookie is created.

Can you verify that the cookie gets sent back to the server with the next request, or that it is accessible by JavaScript? If so, your cookie should be okay.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
