I'm writing a simple script for delineating some text and emailing it (a simple address-update form). So far, I haven't had any problems with the script; however, when I try to write it so that it displays a new HTML page as thanks, I start to enter problems.
What I'd really like to do is redirect the page to a new page, entirely coded in HTML - something like after the CGI is finished running, it redirects the user to http://www.whatever.com. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do this in PERL, and my only other method of trying this - printing a webpage which uses SSI to include the page I'm loading, isn't working either (not sure why, but I assume it has to do with inappropriate use of quotation marks.
Here's my code (for the thank-you page). Can anyone suggest something that'll work for me?
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<!--#include virtual="/biostat/mainindex.shtml" -->\n";
print "<td width=590 valign=top>\n";
print "<!--#include file="thanksmain.shtml" -->\n";
print "</td>\n";
print "</tr>\n";
print "</table>\n";
print "</BODY>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";
exit(0);
}
That was my terrible attempt at redirecting them to the other page using SSI. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Rob
