Hi all,

visited http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html but no
help found.

Thanks

Argh! Please see the CGI spec for the correct format of that header.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

$| = 1;
use CGI;
print CGI::redirect('http://www.mydom.com/');

__END__

header("Location http://www.mydom.com/");

By printing the very same HTTP header, of course, either directly

print "Location: http://www.mydom.com/\n\n";

or by using the CGI module, as others have mentioned.

How do I redirect to another page?


It is good manners to check the Perl FAQ *before* posting to
the Perl newsgroup.
