Dear monks,

I had a question about client pull does not work and one of the monk here gave me the code and I tried it but it does not seem to work. Would someone tell me why? I need it to jump to another page after 3 seconds, not 30 seconds after which the perl script is done. Thanks

Client Pull Not Working correctly

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
$| = 1;
if ($pid = fork)
{


  print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  print '<HEAD>';
  print '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3; URL=/cgi_data/page1.ht
+ml">';
  print '<TITLE>New Site notification</TITLE>';
  print '</HEAD>';
  print '<BODY>';
  print 'My homepage has moved to a new location. ';
  print '</BODY>';
  print '</HTML>';
  close STDOUT;
  exit;

}

else
{
 close STDOUT;
  sleep 30;
  exit;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
