Put the second newline(\n) after the redirection. Two newlines in a 
row(which is essentially a blank line..) signals the end of the headers. 
Both your cookies and your relocation need to be in that header. So, save 
the blank line for after the redirect. Also make sure the redirection is 
the last thing in the header. Here's a sample:

print "Content-type: text/html\n";
print "Set-Cookie: information=$set_value; expires=$set_expires; path=\n";
my $place = "http://localhost/".$redir;
print "Location: $place\n\n";
