I am having problems getting the first elsif to redirect to another .cgi script. I have found out it is due to the printing of content type of text and html at the top of the script, but I need it to print out the table near that beginning of the script. Any help would be appreciated.

What does printing a table have to do with http headers? Many already answered this question the first time you asked it at HTTP headers and redirection. Tutorials also has a very good introduction by Ovid which covers HTTP/CGI.
