Have you read GENERATING_A_REDIRECTION_HEADER in CGI? What about that failed to work for you? Do you have some code in particular that has failed to function? If so, post it so we can be more specific. See How do I post a question effectively?. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.

himik, You don't mention what web server you're working with. But if it's apache 2.x, I've found that the Perl scripts that worked with apache 1.x don't work without some modification. Apparently for redirects to work, additional information is needed in the headers that let's the server know that a redirect is possible. This was as a result of a RFC requirement. This may not be your problem and I'm not an expert on web servers, but I know I had to add some header information to get the re-directs to work with 2.x. Good Luck!
