I assume this is running as a CGI script.

Anything you send back will go to the user's browser.  If you need to
send something elsewhere, another mechanism would be needed.   You could
use LWP to send a parameter or two to a CGI app being run by the referrer.

You could use LWP or LWP::Simple for that and the referrer would need to
set up a CGI script to field it.
