note tlm <p>Thanks for the tip. That's good to know in general.</p> <p>The way I ultimately solved the problem was to examine the requests generated by both Safari and Firefox. One important difference was that Firefox was sending a "Keep-Alive: 300" header, while Safari wasn't. This gave me the idea of modifying the redirection to <c> print redirect( -Location => self_url(), -Connection => 'close' ); </c> This worked.</p> <p>But your suggestion of closing STDERR also works. I'll do both from now on, for good measure. :-)</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-439528"> <p><small>the lowliest monk</small></p> </div></div> 714883 714909
