I need to redirect from a Perl script that is passed the value "shop" in a string E.g. http://mysite.co.uk/cgi/shop/redirect.pl?shop=rg

I need this to redirect to a section of a new shop with an address like: mynewsite.co.uk/store/index.php?cPath=1

I've been told it would look something like this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI 'standard';

$shop = param('shop');

if ($shop eq 'rg') {
print redirect('https://www.planetdistribution.co.uk/store/index.php?c
+Path=6');
}elsif ($shop eq 'ps') {
print redirect('https://www.planetdistribution.co.uk/store/index.php?c
+Path=1');
}elsif ($shop eq 'sk') {
print redirect('https://www.planetdistribution.co.uk/store/index.php?c
+Path=19');
}elsif ($shop eq 'smm') {
print redirect('https://www.planetdistribution.co.uk/store/index.php?c
+Path=9');
}else{
print redirect('https://www.planetdistribution.co.uk/store');
}

But I can't get it to work as hard as I try. Is there any more coding I need to do to the page, I've been setting the permissions to 777. Is this right?

Help!
