First of all,
reading the cookie value in should reverse the weirdness (encoding)
that ->bake is doing.
Second of all,
if it's still a problem, you can either
A) design your cookie string to NOT use those characters (like, if % is a
separator, choose a : or something),
B) use Storable / MIME::Base64 / UUEncode ( which is as simple as pack('u',
$val) ! ) , or
C) encode it yourself.
Hope this helps!
