Need Help??

srchulo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So I'm working in a mod_perl environment, and I want to know what the best way is to redirect to a new url. I know in CGI Perl you use print "Location:...", however I've come to find that usually there are better ways to do things in mod_perl, but I can't seem to find anything. Thanks in advance!

It's pretty much the same all around. You are generating a "Location" HTTP header and are (hopefully) using the correct HTTP status code, depending on what exactly you are trying to do. Here's the definition of HTTP/1.1 status codes, look at 303 and 307. The main difference between those is how POST is handled.
