I read this recently in a How TO Magazine.  If you make a weak solution from clorox  and water, and wipe both the outside and inside with it, it will kill some of the bacteria that causes your pumpkins to rot.  After you have cut them, made faces, etc. if you rub the cut edges with plain vaseline, that will seal them from air, etc.
