To put a script in the header, add it to start_html:
$myscript = q[
finished = false;
time = 60;
... and so on
];
print $q->start_html( ... , -script => $myscript);

Perl runs on the server. Javascript runs on the client (browser).
I don't think the Refresh header solution will work, because it
won't cause the form data to be submitted.
