Thanks, it is always good to avoid bad programming habits :)
I didn't understand what this should do:
chomp(@quotes = <DATA>);
This does the same as:

while ( <DATA> )
chomp;
push @quotes, $_;
}

?

I've fixed everything you said beside of this because I want to
understand what have you done here first :)
Thanks a lot for your time

Well, it first slurps the filehandle into an array. At this point, each
element of the array is a line from the cookies.txt file (still
containing the record separator which we set to "%\n").

So, we need to get rid of those "%\n" sequences at the end.

chomp, applied to list, works element-wise. That is, it chomps every
element of the array. See perldoc -f chomp.

After

chomp(@quotes = <DATA>);

we have in @quotes each quote without the "%\n" sequence.
