wetsand has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Sorry I'm a newbie when it comes to pearl. Trying to 301 old legacy files like oldsite.com/green/red.cgi/blue/ using this htaccess code: Redirect 301 /green/red.cgi/blue/ http://www.newsite.com/summary-page/ Instead it's redirecting to: newsite.com/red.cgi/blue/ FYI oldsite.com's htaccess file does not have any global 301 rules that would conflict How can I redirect these CGI files properly? Thanks.

    Edit the programs 

    #!/usr/bin/perl --
use CGI();
print CGI->redirect(  'http://anythingyouwant' ); 
exit;

    [download]

    Then go study apache manual until you figure out .htaccess
