cgi.pm problem

[Brian Bierman]

I am new to perl and I am trying to create a script that calls a login function then redirects the user to their destination if their login is successful. The problem is that my redirect just prints a message like "this page has moved to da da da" or just the requested url without actually redirecting the browser.

When I view source on the page, the header shows xml coding and not html. Is this the problem?

What am I doing wrong?
