The main reason your code doesn't work, is that you
have sent two \n's to the browser, before you attempt
to redirect it. Once you have sent the double carriage
returns, it's game over, anything printed to the browser
after that is considered content. That is, as long as you've
specified the Content-Type at some point before the carriage
returns.
The key is to redirect the browser, if you need to,
before printing the Content-Type, and sending the
double carriage returns.
The follow code snippet will allow you to specify a
list of bad domains, and redirects the user back to the
bad domain if a match is found:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI;
use URI;
use constant BAD_DOMAINS => qw(
www.baddomain.com
);
#create lookup table
my %bad_domains;
undef @bad_domains{ BAD_DOMAINS() };
my $cgi = CGI->new;
print $cgi->redirect($cgi->referer)
if exists $bad_domains{ URI->new($cgi->referer, 'http')->host };
print $cgi->header;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
