That is a great idea Robert.  It would work without the necessity of any
redirection in most cases.

Here is the proper syntax:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="10;
URL=http://www.my.domain.com/cgi-bin/myperlscript.cgi">

where the numeral following CONTENT="... is the number of seconds you wish
for the browser to wait before it sends the request for the document /
executable you are trying to hit.

or you could use the META tag way.
<META contents=refresh;URL=www.blah.com/cgi-bin/script.pl>
Not too sure on the form, I think my code is off a little, but this will
refresh and start your script.  I don't have the book I found it in, in
front of me.  I found it in an ASP book, and you might be able to
find it in a HTML book.  Good luck!

Robert
