Yo,
I've manage to make a proper 301 redirect with Perl through the following code:
my $new_url = "http://www.example.com/new_url.htm";
if ($do_the_redirect)
{
print "Status: 301 Moved Permanently\n";
print "Location: ${new_url}\n\n";
}
Is it possible to do this for a 404 also? I'm having the following in mind:
1. Give the search engines the correct info.
2a. Redirect the user to a custom page, or
2b. Redirect the customer to Apaches Default 404 page (if one exists?)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
