If I understand correctly, you want to send the parameters both to your script (so you can print them) and to a second script (submitq). That's quite tricky because HTTP & HTML designers failed to forsee the need to do a POST redirection. If you only needed to send it to submitq, then you could:

<form ...>
<center><input type=submit value=Send name=S1></center>
</form>

to:

<form method="POST" action="http://.../submitq.cgi">
<center><input type=submit value=Send name=S1></center>
</form>

One way would be to get JavaScript to do a post by changing:

    # When it is print
    # Redirect to another web page
    if (param('S1') eq "Send") {
        print BOBIN $datajoin;
        print redirect("http://.../submitq.cgi");
    }

[download]

to:

    if (param('S1') eq "Send") {
        print BOBIN $datajoin;
        <body onload="form1.submit()">
        <form name="form1" method="POST" action="http://.../submitq.cg
+i">
        foreach ($cgi->params()) {
           <input type=hidden name="$_" value="$cgi->param($_);" >
        }
        </form>
    }

Another alternative is a "subquery". Change:

    # When it is print
    # Redirect to another web page
    if (param('S1') eq "Send") {
        print BOBIN $datajoin;
        print redirect("http://.../submitq.cgi");
    }

[download]

to:

    if (param('S1') eq "Send") {
        print BOBIN $datajoin;
        require LWP::UserAgent;
        require HTTP::Request::Common;
        $ua = ...;
        $ua->request(POST 'http://.../submitq.cgi', [ params ]);
        print the response.
    }

As an aside, open(FH, ">>...") will create the file if necessary, so

if (-e $datefile) {
    open (BOBIN, ">>$datefile") || die "Cannot Open File $datefile for
+ writing: $!"; # Open Data file
} else {
     ### Else open directory where files data files are located
     #   Sort in descending order, pick out first file
     #   And e-mail it
     #   Then create a new file with current data as name
     open (BOBIN, ">$datefile") || die "Cannot create File $datefile f
+or writing: $!";
}

[download]

simplifies to

open (BOBIN, ">>$datefile") || die "Cannot Open File $datefile for
+ writing: $!"; # Open/Create Data file
