Don't do that ("break the web"). If it's not there, 404 is appropriate. If you mean it be a 302 or maybe better a 301 (202 doesn't make sense here), then you should do a 302. Don't serve the content from the correct URI under the 404. Your webserver layer is the most efficient way to do this when possible (path translation, etc). Otherwise something along the lines of-
use CGI qw(:standard);
use URI;
my $new = URI->new(url());
$new->path("/some/new/place");
print redirect($new); # 302 by default.
exit 0;

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).
