Hello, and welcome to TWF!
I hope I understood your question correctly (and if not, please due tell!).
The following is what I 'think' you are looking for:
http://wiredstart.com/cgi-bin/urlcheckforward.pl
If the first URL is incorrect or brings up an error, than the user will be forwarded to the second URL entered.
The source can be found:
http://wiredstart.com/source/urlcheckforward.txt
The script required a few modules:
CGI.pm and LWP::UserAgent. Your host will hopefully have them both installed.
Hope that helps!

The script does not need to be edited to do what you need.
http://www.wiredstart.com/cgi-bin/urlcheckforward.pl?url1=http://www.google.com/FAKEURL.html&url2=http://yahoo.com.
To be honest I am not sure if it will work with Windows 2000, but the best thing to do is try it out and see
The Perl version that I have for Windows from activestate.com has the modules you require installed, so if you have ActivePerl installed on your server, everything should work fine.
Good luck!
