Re: page displayed from CGI script

The locationheader should work fine...add a space after the colon.  Also
make sure you have sent no other information back to the browser before this
line, including content-types (mime types) or blank lines.

The Perl web site has many useful tutorials and articles.

Subject: page displayed from CGI script


Hello list,

Could someone please tell me how to return a page at a certain url through a
cgi script?  I've tried

print "Location:http://www.someplace.com/apage/calledthis.htm\n\n";

and

print "http://www.someplace.com/apage/calledthis.htm\n\n";

With no success.  I don't know how to tell it to go somewhere.

I've also searched perl.com for some hint of how to accomplish this but had
no success, although I did find some cool pre-made cgi scripts but they do
me no good right now.  I really don't want to just print out all the html of
the whole darned page that I want to return from within the script if I
don't have to.
