in reply to print and redirect

You don't have it all... 
print "Status: 302 Moved Temporarily\n";
print "Location: $url\n\n";

If it still shows in your page then you are probably printing out headers and a \n\n somewhere above

    Ive realised where ive gone wrong, but its given me another problem.

    I am redirecting after i am creating a cookie. Since you can only write to a cookie once, does anyone know how i can write to a cookie and then immediately afterwards redirect to another page?

      When I want to redirect a user I use the <meta> tag http-equiv=refresh - it's never given me any trouble. I would have your script write your cookie function and when it returns send the browser one of these:
      <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://redirect.url.here?anycgi=options&here=too">

        This works fine,

        However is it better coding practise for me to write the following? 

        <html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://redirect.url.here?any
cgi=options&here=too">
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

        rather than just the meta refresh line

      I don't think you can write a cookie in a redirect, I've tried before... you have to use a http-equiv refresh

        I don't know how you tried it, but it works fine for me... See node below for working example :)
