    This is a little difficult to answer without knowing what sort of authentication system you're using, and without seeing code that shows what you've tried so far. Can you give us some more information, and show us what you've done so far?

    Have you already read the documentation for CGI.pm? What are you having trouble with, exactly?

      Linda,
      It is staying in the same page and displaying the message as 
      Status: 302 Moved Set-Cookie: CGISESSID=09db3b13daece8f8b6721668a03707

      Hi Linda,
      Thnk you for fast response.
      Im using CGI::Session module.
      I have written print $cgi->redirect(-uri=>"http://localhost/reports.pl",-cookie=>$cookie)
      $cookie points to teh session variable which im initializing in the beginning of the program.
      now, as soon as user presses "login" button, my perl script has to show "reports.pl" page and should display the values stored in session variable.
      this is what i need actually.
      But, it is not going to reports.pl page.It remains in the same page.
      Pls help me Linda.

        When printing a redirect you need to make sure that is the only thing you are printing. Don't print a header before that.
