Open web page with perl script

EfratS · Aug 4, 2004

Hello,
Does someone knows how can I simply run URL throw my perl code?

To be more specific:
I want that the last row in perl script will open the

http://www.google.co.il

web page, and then the script should be terminated.

thanks.

Couple of ways:

Code:

print redirect("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yoursite.com");[/URL]

or

Code:

<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; URL=http://www.yoursite.com\"></head><body></body></html>

Can't tell you why but the first one doesn't always work on all servers.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

When I'm trying to run your first suggestion, the following error message appears:
"Undefined subroutine &main::redirect called"
Do I need to insert any "use" ?

Thanks!

# Other mode:
