Assuming that you are using CGI.pm and have the resulting generated url
stored in a variable called $url, then redirecting the browser is as
simple as:

  # $cgi contains the CGI query object
 
  # this should come before you have printed anything out
  print $cgi->redirect($url);

If you are writing your own code and have figured out how to read values
for variables from mysql, that is quite a task.  If you are modifying
some existing code to fit your needs, that is a great way to learn also.

It is often easier to help out if you post an excerpt of the code you are
working on.

Have fun,
