in thread Where to call script

What does the redirect look like in Perl? Would I put it at the end of my script? Is this correct??? 
use CGI;
use strict;
#mail stuff here
redirect('actionpage.asp');

    Two suggestions :-
    • Use the full url of the target.
    • Above will not pass parameters on to the asp. You need to include those also in the get.

      Is this correct? I have textfield info I have to pass here such as a Comments field. 
      use CGI;
use strict;
#mail stuff here
redirect('http://webserver/actionpage.asp?personName?email?comments);

        You are passing variable NAMES, but not their Values.

        If you want to di it via redirect, do something like:

        redirect ("http://your.url.here.com?Name1=value1&name2=value2")

        Personally, I dislike that style because it exposes the values, and allows users to tamper with them. I would prefer info passing via session variables (for asp pages), or via a POST for CGI.
