in thread HTTP headers and redirection

Not sure exactly what you mean... I edited my script like this and it's still not working. If I move my print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; things will not work correctly. Also I have no idea how to use CGI.pm's header and redirect methods. This book doesn't go into depth nearly enough to complete these assignments. This is frustrating for me Any help? I am a novice. This is my first Perl Class. Thanks,
