in reply to Redirection on a Website

Isn't this in the faq?
shell> perldoc -q Redirect Found in /path/to/pod/perlfaq9.pod How do I Redirect to another page? Instead of sending back a `Content-Type' as the headers of your reply, send back a `Location:' header. Officially this should be a `URI:' header, so the CGI.pm module (available from CPAN) sends back both: Location: http://www.domain.com/newpage URI: http://www.domain.com/newpage Note that relative URLs in these headers can cause strange effects because of "optimizations" that servers do. $url = "http://www.perl.com/CPAN/"; print "Location: $url\n\n"; exit; To target a particular frame in a frameset, include the "Window-target:" in the header. print <<EOF; Location: http://www.domain.com/newpage Window-target: <FrameName> EOF To be correct to the spec, each of those virtual newlines should really be physical `"\015\012"' sequences by the time you hit the client browser. Except for NPH scripts, though, that local newline should get translated by your server into standard form, so you shouldn't have a problem here, even if you are stuck on MacOS. Everybody else probably won't even notice. shell>
I feel so much better knowing that it's documented in the standard distro at perlfaq9.

And thank goodness that it's available online, or most likeley, right on the box perl is on!

Enjoy
