Adam, Thanks for your help. This is exactly what I was looking for. I found the answer at this URL on how to refresh by modifying the header with the object-oriented interface:
http://www.esec.com.au/sep/content/eps_support/demo/perlcgi/cgi_module.html All the best, -Jason Adam Morton> Actually, if that is what you want to do, then you don't want to use the Adam Morton> redirect header (whi is what CGI::redirect generates). A redirect header Adam Morton> will make the browser go to a different location from the requesed location Adam Morton> without actually ever loading any html into the browser. If you just want Adam Morton> to redirect the same page over and over again from the client side, you are Adam Morton> doing the right thing. Adam Morton> You can stuff it into your $q->start_html() call using syntax similar to: Adam Morton> -meta=>{'keywords'=>'pharaoh secret mummy', Adam Morton> 'copyright'=>'copyright 1996 King Tut'}, Adam Morton> Which I grabbed from: Adam Morton> http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/lib/CGI.html#CREATING-THE-HTML-DOCUMENT-HEA Adam Morton> DER Adam Morton> But you can get from your perldoc resource of choice (which seems to be the Adam Morton> command line version on this list).
