The italics below are my emphasis.

From the "Creating the HTTP Header" section of the CGI.pm docs:

Creating the Header for a Redirection Request

   print $query->redirect('http://somewhere.else/in/the/world');

This generates a redirection request for the remote browser. It will immediately go to the indicated URL. You should exit soon after this. Nothing else will be displayed.

You can add your own headers to this as in the header() method.

You should always use absolute or full URLs in redirection requests. Relative URLs will not work correctly.

An alternative syntax for redirect() is:

print $query->redirect(-location=>'http://somewhere.else/',
                          -nph=>1);

So, you'd create your header like this:
print $q->redirect(-location=>"http://$URL",-cookie=>$c);
