hello,
i am working on a cgi script, and i want to forward the user to a html page after the cgi script has executed. I can't find it in my book, and I am sure it is simple, as I have seen it before.

thanks for your help, you guys rule!

EDIT: Sorry, just so there is no confusion, i'm doing my cgi's in PERL

I think this one should works...

print "Location: $url\n\n";

but must be put in the header of the cgi scripts or otherwise won't work.

do not print anything before this line:

print "Location: http://your.domain.com/your/confirmation/page.html\n\n";

Note the double \n\n. Very important.

Thanks guys, I understand perl very well, but since I tend to smoke alot, and not nasty tobacco. I tend to forget alot also, and I can always count on you guys to help me out of a jam. You guys rule.
