Redirection in mod

kprasanna_79 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hai All, I am using mod_perl 1.2.9 and CGI in my application. I am using redirect method to redirect to another page.

my $q = $self->query();
$q->redirect("somepage");
[download]

This works fine. But thing is i am getting session value in CGI.pm and printing that, which is not working properly when i redirect. so i am searching for another method to redirect from CGI. any one who knows that, can help me.. Thanks new user

why not use mod_perl's redirection methods? put this in a mod_perl module and load this handler `sub handler { my $r = shift; $r->headers_out->set(Location => "http://www.foo.bar"); }` [download] more examples here mod_perl code snippets	[reply] [d/l]

store the session id in a (soonish expiring) cookie that the re-directed page can read. the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H	[reply]
