Dear monks,

I had a question about client pull does not work and one of the monk here gave me the code and I tried it but it does not seem to work. Would someone tell me why? I need it to jump to another page after 3 seconds, not 30 seconds after which the perl script is done. Thanks

Client Pull Not Working correctly 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
$| = 1;
if ($pid = fork)
{


  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  print '<HEAD>';
  print '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3; URL=/cgi_data/page1.ht
+ml">';
  print '<TITLE>New Site notification</TITLE>';
  print '</HEAD>';
  print '<BODY>';
  print 'My homepage has moved to a new location. ';
  print '</BODY>';
  print '</HTML>';
  close STDOUT;
  exit;

}

else
{
 close STDOUT;
  sleep 30;
  exit;
}
