    my $query = CGI::new();
    my $cookie_name = $query->cookie(-name  => 'MYHASH',
                     -value => \%hash);
print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie_name);

print query->redirect('http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land');

    Therein lies your problem. A redirect is part of the HTTP header; once you print the header (via the header() method) you can't print another one. Try: 

    print $query->header(-cookie => $cookie_name, 
                     -location => 'http://www.somewhere-else.com/');
