in reply to Automatic page refresh

Hint: 'web' !~ /^[Pp]erl$/. That is you should specify which is the environment in which you're actually working... most probably CGI, isn't it? In particular there's something called "perlscript" which is a tool for client side perl scripting, but that is not much used AFAIK and my guess is that it is not what you're having to do with, so I think that your description of the problem may be misleading.

To obtain better help you should show what you have tried so far...

    Ok sorry folks, looks like I wasn't specific enough.

    If there's one thing I dislike, it's vagueness...

    I am running perl version 5.6.0 on an i386 linux server.
    My client is running Internet Explorer version 6 on Windows XP.
    My perl script (sorry for missing out the space last time) does use CGI.

    Apologies if this sort of thing isn't possibe with Perl, I just thought someone might have known a quick trick.
