Not sure exactly what you mean, but there are basically two ways:

a) You can use LWP to have one CGI read the output of the other CGI. Note that the user's browser (and his session cookies and these things) are not involved here, so if you need some session data, you need to explicitly pass it from the first CGI (accessed by the user) to the second CGI (accessed by your server) somehow.

b) If you want the user (his browser) to be transfered from one CGI to the next, you can use HTTP redirects. You can include additional parameters in the redirect URL. If you need to do a POST request, you can print out an HTML form and have the user press a button to go to the next CGI ( with the option to press the button automatically by JavaScript)

In both cases, you have to be aware that everything a CGI gets as input can potentially be tampered with by the user.
