AFAIK, the Location header must contain an absolute URL, not a relative. Use Firebug or Wireshark to find out what is sent to the browser. I guess Apache enforces status 404, so you won't get the 30x redirection that you expect. Perhaps you need to add a Status header.

It actually works when calling /cgi-bin/errorpage.pl directly, so I guess that the Location isn't the problem, this is probably related more to the Apache handling?	[reply]

So use Firebug, Wireshark, or if you have no better idea, use `lwp-request -m GET -e -s -S http://your.server/some/page/that/does/not/exist` and look at the HTTP headers returned.

Actually, the linked page says about relative redirects: This example, while incorrect based on the internet standard, will often work in popular browsers. Which makes the sentence "The Location header must contain an absolute URL, not a relative." correct as in accordance with the standard.	[reply]

Nothing. This isn't a compilation problem or so, the white page is probably because of that the "Location:" is the only line that is printed. Logs contain things other than compilation errors. In any case, you should use CGI->redirect	[reply]
