I'm trying to use the redirect command to switch the web browser to a new frame. I have a left margin frame and a main frame. I want to redirect or change the contents of both frames. Here's my relevent code section:

use CGI qw/:standard/;
my $co = new CGI;

if ($x eq "9000") {
    print $co->redirect(-target=>'_top', -location
+=>'/intranet/subdir/index.html');
}

This works, sort of, except that I end of with two left margins--the first margin along with both the new margin and the new main frame inside of the old main frame. This is not the desired effect I was hoping for. No, instead I was hoping to replace the entire page with a new main frame and new margin.

I've searched through the Perl Monks site pretty thoroughly, but can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Incidentally, when I add -nph=>1, I get a malformed header error. I've also tried replacing "redirect" with "header"; no difference.

Any thoughts?
