| In CGI.pm there is a function for making a cookie
from a scalar, hash, or array. It apparentley does
not support lists of lists, hashes of lists, etc.
Is there existing code that will do that?
Thanks.

There's no such thing as a list of lists, or a hash of lists. There
are lists of array references, and hashes of array references, however.

To my knowledge, what you're looking for doesn't quite make sense. A
cookie can have one value, or a series of values. A series of series
of values is something altogether different.
Perhaps you should look into saving your complex data structure as one
large string? Have a look at the Storable module on CPAN.

Look at Data::Dumper.
