This is taxing my (admittedly weak) web skills and I suspect there are others out there for whom it is easy.
I'm working on a homegrown system for tracking books and reviewers for the sociology journal we edit here, _Social Forces_. It's LAMP, as in Linux-Apache-Middleware-PostgreSQL. Most of it is pretty straightforward, but I've got a procedural problem. When a reviewer is assigned to a book, I want two distinct things to happen: (1) a letter is generated, to be printed and sent out by snail-mail; and (2) the user is redirected back to a blank assignment screen. I know how to make either one of these happen, but am stymied by how to make *both* happen at once. Is there a way to make a submit button that will both open a new browser window with the generated PDF, *and* redirect the current browser window to the CGI script? To whatever extent it matters, I'm working in perl, using CGI.pm, and the letter will be generated using LaTeX.
