Here is a code snippet which show how to store data into the session.

use CGI::Session;
 
 $session = new CGI::Session();
 
 #save data to the session
 $session->param('username') = $q->param("$usernameVar");
 $session->param('login_id') = $q->param("$login_id");
 
 #create session cookie
 $session_cookie = $q->cookie(-name=>$session->name,-value=>$session->id); #session cookie
 $cookie13 = $q->cookie(-name=>'login_id',-value=>$login_id); #cookie 1
 
 print $q->header(-location=>'show_profile.pl',-cookie=>[$cookie13,$session]);
