use http-equiv to refresh the page

Hi, this is not a mod_perl question, but rather a question to see if I have to use mod_perl to achive this.
 
In my perl program executing in Apache web server, I have the following code:
 
use CGI ;
 
$query = new CGI ;
$url = "http://www.mycite.com ;      #The url to refresh.
 
 print $query->header(-status=>'200 Ok', -type=>'text/html');
 print "<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0;URL="$url\"" /></head></html>";
 
However, when I tried to display it in Internet Explorer, I got an empty page, instead of being redirected to the URL I specified. The same code works fine with ActiveState in IIS. Is this an issue with Apache? How can I make this work? By using Mod_PERL? I am currently using Perl 5.6.1.
 
Thanks for any comments.
