If you are using CGI.pm, there is a method called redirect:
my $cgi = new CGI;
$cgi->redirect($new_url);
BTW, this has to be done before any headers are sent from the web server,
or it won't work correctly. In fact, the redirection method sends its own
header, so you shouldn't send any header after you use this method, since
nothing will be displayed from the CGI script once the redirection is
done.
See http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/cgi_docs.html#header for more
details.
