Beth,

thank you so much for your time and effort.
After spending some time reading about mod_rewrite, I got the feeling that it is not really what I need. It seems mod_rewrite's intention is to handle complex redirections (and that it becomes really powerful in large networks). Too many bad experiences with "misusing" programs / servers for my needs made me stepping back using it.
After doing more research about http, I realised what I really want is a redirect response back from my cgi.My script above was good, I only needed to change the _location to the requesting one in the http header.

Although I did not use your suggestion, I learned a lot!
Thank you!

use WWW::Mechanize;
use CGI  qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);

my $q = new CGI;
my $addr = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};

my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $url = 'http://projects.villa-bosch.de/dbase/molsurfer/submit-elec.
+html';


$m->get($url);
$m->add_header(location => $addr);
$m->set_fields(
       FILE1 => $file1,
       FILE2 => $file2,
       mapsize =>'59x59',
       resolution =>'med',
       pdie =>'4',
       sdie =>'80',
       ioss =>'150',
       ionr =>'1.5',
       nmap =>'0.0'
      );  
my $response = $m->submit();
print $q->header;
print $response->content();
