Form Submission Script - would like to point at HTML page

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

Hi All,

I'm very new to this & web design & Perl Scripts so please excuse.

I am creating a form on a html page which I have got working and the script (provided to me by 1and1 hosting) sends the information to my email address as planned.

However when I press the Submit button a perl script screen pops up with a thank you message. What I would like to know is how I can code this script so that it points to a page I have created so that it enables the user to stay within the website.

I hope this makes sense. If you need further information please let me know.

many thanks

It's probably easiest to replace the part of the script that prints out the HTTP headers and contents of the script by a redirect header. That should also prevent a reload/refresh from executing the script again. `print "Location: http://yourhost/your/page.html\n\n"; exit; # unless you really need to do something here` [download] "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"
