I have a CGI program that uses cookies to maintain store session information. In order to send the cookie, I have to send it as part of the header information. The cgi program then takes and processes form variables. After that, I want to have the cgi program redirect to another URL. Is there a way to do this after a header has been specified.? 
print "Location: http://nameofurl\n\n";

<-Does not work since the header was already specified. The header looks like this - 
$cookie = $cgimain->cookie(-name  => CGISESSID,
                           -value => $session->id,
                           -path  => '/',
                           -expires  => '+2h',
                          );

print $cgimain->header(-cookie => [$cookie] );
