I kind of leaned towards that because nothing I could find
 said anything about sending a cookie and basically
 redirecting at the same time. I took your advice and did

print $query-> header(-cookie => $send_it); 
print  qq(<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;
 URL=http://localhost/test/"> );

This worked like a charm. Funny thing though. Sending the
 cookie in the redirect like stated below worked in
 Netscape. But not IE. Usually it's the other way around.
 During reading up on this I kept seeing issues with the
 cache, and the problems with using the redirect. I don't
 know. Thank all for the help.
