Keef has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Okay, I'm being forced to use a meta refresh to redirect to the new page because IE will not activate the cookie until it stops someplace. But my problem is, i'm trying to redirect to manage.cgi?view=2139473, but the = sign seems to prevent the redirect from happening. How do I fix?

    Show us your complete <meta> tag. I've redirected to CGIs, and have never had a problem passing arguments.

    As for sending cookies along with a redirect, you may be running into an IIS problem (assuming you're using IIS). See A Rant on IIS Breakage.
