It could also be done with a Java Script. In general, I prefer Perl

You got it. There is an environment variable called
HTTP_USER_AGENT containing the browser information. If you want an idea
of what is available to to:
http://usats.com/env.html and click on the link. The internal link is:
<A HREF="/cgi-bin/env.pl?name=Urb&zip=08087
so you see how variables are passed.
The Perl code to accomplish redirection base on user's browser is
trivial.

It can work anywhere you want in an html document, not just the
entry point. I frequently take a random entry for a guestbook and
display it in the middle of the home page.
Let me know if you need some help with this.
