Assuming I understand you–

  1. Request to Perl to initiate creation of PHP page.
  2. Perl serves a very small dummy/placeholder page immediately saying “Please wait…” perhaps forking such that parent serves page and exits while child creates PHP–
    1. The new page has a small Ajax routine; I like jQuery, there are MANY other good libraries.
    2. The Ajax polls for the PHP resource every $x milliseconds.
    3. When the PHP page is ready, the JS replaces the location of the page, effectively redirecting; but not quite the same and there are other ways to do this and they have various implications in browser history.

Barring JS, you can do this with meta refresh and redirect tricks but it’s messy and gross. :P Might/should include <noscript/> tags such that non-JS enabled browsers will see they cannot properly use the resource.
