I programmed a site in Perl back in 2007, from then until about 2012. I wrote well over 100k lines, maybe 250k lines in over 100 files.

I cannot remember how I did it, but I remember something about it, isn't there a way to have something execute before the headers?

Like if we already printed the headers but then need to do something to do before them, I remember I used to have to do that somehow, but I for the life of me cannot find it in my programming, or on here, but I'm pretty sure someone on here helped me with it back then.

I may not be describing it right, but I think it was for window redirects, when we already had printed header files.
but I cannot recall for sure.

Do you know what I'm trying to say? or what I'm talking about?

Sorry, I got sleep apnea so severe I almost died and it ruined my brain, I cannot recall a lot of things in whole sentences.

I would appreciate anyone who can understand what I'm trying to say.

Thank you,
-Richard
