I'm not sure why that would be happening to you. What code are you using
to try to do that? For example, the following prints some html including
the refresh header and redirects the user's browser.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<MSG;
<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.perl.org";>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is the html message part.</p>
</body>
</html>
MSG
