heres the relevant stuff:
GENERATING A REDIRECTION HEADER
print redirect(’http://somewhere.else/in/movie/land’);
Sometimes you don’t want to produce a document yourself, but simply
redirect the browser
elsewhere, perhaps choosing a URL based on the time of day or the
identity of the user.
The redirect() function redirects the browser to a different URL. If
you use redirection
like this, you should not print out a header as well.
You should always use full URLs (including the http: or ftp: part) in
redirection requests.
Relative URLs will not work correctly.
