If the question asked for how to use HTTP to redirect, I'd probably think to give the print "Location..." answer but when asked for cgi, even in lowercase, we do tend to think of CGI.pm. Plus, though the print "Loc..." works, it is short on headers. It's fine to do it yourself but doing it right is usually easier through an interface. Even one that is less than ideal.
