Perl I assume?  If this is basically all that's in your script, then it
should redirect automatically.  However, if you throw out the Content-type
header first, then it will be treated as a regular page (or image or
whatever content type you specified).

If you have PHP support, look into the header() command.  I find it much
easier to use than a perl redirect.  i.e.:  header("Location:
http://www.yourdomain.com/somepage.html";) and that's it.
