quick and dirty: `my $url="http://www.foo.com"; my $t=1; # time until redirect activates print "<META HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT=\"$t;URL=$url\">\n";` [download] or `use CGI; my $query=new CGI; print $query->redirect('http://www.foo.com');` [download] Updated: changed the time until redirect so as not to break the back button per LTjake's suggestion. -phill	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Minor point, but this "tip" says not to use META refresh for redirection. Perhaps `print "Location: http://www.foo.com/\n\n";` [download] is a better "quick-n-dirty"? Update: Whoops. Fixed code - missed newlines - hat tip: Cody Pendant. -- Rock is dead. Long live paper and scissors!	[reply] [d/l]

print "Location: http://www.foo.com/"; Doesn't that need a couple of newlines after it to work? -- `($_='jjjuuusssttt annootthheer pppeeerrrlll haaaccckkeer')=~y/a-z//s;print;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I agree, Cody. Why do people submit solutions that require others to load the submitters HUGE (favorite) Library of overcoded functions when there is such simple solutions?	[reply]
