Take a look at this page. It is a general discussion about
shopping cart scripts. It gives a decent introduction to both
techniques.

HTTP cookies are covered near the end of the CGI.pm docs.
You may not want to hold *every* value in the cookie. Sometimes
you use the cookie to point to (sensitive) data on the server.
Take a look at CGI::Session. It has a tutorial with it,
CGI::Session::Tutorial.
