This is not actually related to CGI::Application, but to CGI.pm, whose
documentation is at http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI.pm/

The short story is that you first get a reference to the CGI object like
this:

   my $cgi = $self->query(); # see "query" method in CGI::Application

then retrieve the cookie like this:

   my $cookie = $cgi->cookie('cookie_name');

See CGI.pm documentation for more directions and hints.

Cheers,
