How do I get/read the url from the address filed in web browser

Aug 22 '08, 07:00 AM

My perl file is today shown/running "inside" a web page. My task is to redirect the user to a different web page depending on which web page thta is "holding" my perl file. Unfortunately I can't work out how to obtain the url string from the web page. I have successed with the same thing using javascript which is something like:

var url = parent.window.l ocation;
how do I do this in perl?
Please help!

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my $url = $ENV{SERVER_NAME} . $ENV{REQUEST_URI};
print "<html><body><h2>The URL was $url</h2>";
print "<h3>The other hash variables available are:</h3><p>";
foreach (sort keys %ENV) {
        print "$_ = $ENV{$_}<br />";
}
print "</p></body></html>\n";
