Perldoc CGI heres the relevant stuff: GENERATING A REDIRECTION HEADER print redirect(’http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land’); Sometimes you don’t want to produce a document yourself, but simply redirect the browser elsewhere, perhaps choosing a URL based on the time of day or the identity of the user. The redirect() function redirects the browser to a different URL. If you use redirection like this, you should not print out a header as well. You should always use full URLs (including the http: or ftp: part) in redirection requests. Relative URLs will not work correctly. note the last line Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
