Hi all,
I would like to create an exit button which, when pressed, triggers
code to clean up my application and then go to the index.html page. It is
my understanding that the redirect function will take me there. Here is
the key piece of code:
print redirect (-location=>'./');
Here is the result -- nothing happens but a statement is printed out --
Status: 302 Moved Location: ./
How should I be doing this?

Relocation headers are supposed to have absolute urls, e.g.
print redirect(-location => 'http://my.site.com/');
Read the HTTP specification:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html
And read the CGI.pm documentation:
perldoc CGI
The relocation header must be output as part of the HTTP
headers, that is, before any HTML text is output. An HTTP
message consists of an HTTP header followed by an HTTP body
(which is usually in HTML).
The HTTP headers should never appear in the browser; they
affect browser behavior but are not supposed to be visible, so
if you see "Status: 302 Moved Location: ./" in the browser,
something else is wrong.
