in reply to how to refresh a cgi page?

Hi ralijani,

If you are using CGI.pm, pass a refresh value to the header method, like this
print $q->header({refresh => 30 });
I hope this helps

    Whilst this is widely supported, it should be borne in mind that this is a Netscape extension to HTTP and is not actually described in the HTTP RFC so there is always an outside chance that you will one day hit a client that doesn't know what to do with this header. The same is also true of the "META REFRESH" element commonly used in HTML.
