Re: forms and cgi

Add the following line at the end of the Perl program that submits the form
info to the server:

print "Location: somepage.html\n\n";

where somepage.html is page you want to display. Or you can also use the
HTTP_REFERER variable to load the page that sends the form.

Hope this helps
