Straight from the CGI docs:

print $query->redirect('http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land');

Just as an FYI, I had the same issue as VFT when I was learning CGI. The print $query->redirect('http://somewhere') ; must not appear AFTER a print $query->header() ; as it IS your header.

"Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!

Thanks, I'm so glad I am not the only one that's been through this! And thanks for letting me know it IS my header, which still sorta confuses me...does that mean I will no longer need print $query->header; , I just replace it with the redirect script you have?

I installed it by deleting my other header print, but I ran into another problem. I am doing:

my $url;
$url = 'www.site.com';

But when I try $query->redirect('$url') ; it's trying to show me you can't use a scalar here. Is this true?

Thanks so much!

print "Location: http://www.somewhere.else/\n\n";
