Hi Monks,

Seek your help on redirecting a page in CGI I have written a simple CGI page which accepts the username and password. From obtained values I pass them to a subroutine which creates cookies and returns to main. In main routine I redirect it to another page. Here is my sample code: 

#! /usr/bin/perl
use CGI;

print $cgi->header();
print $cgi->start_html(-title=>'Login',-script=>$JSCRIPT);
print qq{<center><link rel=stylesheet href="/wadmin.css" type="text/cs
+s">};


if( $cgi->param('smbt'))
{
       &creat_cooke();
        print $cgi->redirect("Welcome.cgi");
}
else
{
print qq{<form name="frm" method="POST">};
print qq{User<input type ="text" name="login" size=14 maxlength=10>};

print qq{Password <input type ="password" name="password" size=14 maxl
+ength=10>};
print qq{<input type="submit" name="smbt" value="Submit" onclick="retu
+rn verify()">};
}

When the code reaches to redirecting part it is giving me Status: 302 Moved Location: sample.cgi

Did I make any mistake while redirecting or any other part. Is that related to cookies ( as per my knowledge it should not )

Please help me with this.

Thanks in Advance

Srinivas.
