Thanks all who replied. From your post i gather that i need
to handle my redirect client side....so.....
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
print header;
$| = 1;
print "hi\n";
sleep 3; # i would actually do a lot of other stuff here
print<<EOF
<script language="javascript">
<!--
location.replace("http://www.yahoo.com";);
-->
</script>
EOF
thanks,
jd
