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,
