in reply to failing to generate proper http redirect headers

This is what's wrong: 
location: http://redirected_url

[download]
Location, like all other HTTP headers, must have the first letter capitalized. The reason it isn't is that you asked CGI to add a header called 'location' with that url as the content. Here are the examples from the CGI documentation: 
print $query->redirect('http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land');

print $query->redirect(-uri=>'http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land',
                                  -nph=>1);

Note that uri is the correct named parameter, or the URI may be passed as the sole parameter.

    No, headers are completely case-insensitive. They're based on RFC822 (the format for mail messages).

      Ok, my mistake. Not only did he use the redirect method incorrectly, evidently he has a non-compliant browser.

        heh, the funny thing is my redirects from my CGI::Application subclasses work just fine, and I know that the CGI::App internals use the CGI.pm's redirect services.
