How to display a html page after the original html page runs a perl script

[Stu]

I have an html page that does the following

<form action="Scripts/Standard.pl" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect"
value="/Inetpub/wwwroot/ThankYou.htm">


When the individual hits the submit button the original html page
calls a perl script (standard.pl) that parses the data to a file on my
server. When it is done, I wanted to have the ThankYou.htm page come
up but I only get a blank screen after the perl routine is completed.

Help, any idea? I thought this would work.

You would probably need to edit your script to read the redirect parameter
and do something useful with it.

Use the CGI module to parse the input. Store your new location
somewhere like $url. And then:

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

Instead of printing a content-type header is if you were going to
write content to the browser.
