Tooling about, I happened on this page, and particularly for beginners I think it'd be a good thing to bookmark.

http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php

Shows how to do a 301/302 in

• ColdFusion
• PHP
• ASP
• ASP.net
• JSP (Java)
• CGI PERL
• Ruby on Rails
• and a couple great .htaccess examples.

Happy 301ing!

That's a good reference page.

I see all the examples show how to send the raw server headers, except for
the Perl example which uses cgi.pm.

I have never used that perl module.

Anyways, to send the raw server header for a 301....

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Status: 301 Moved\r\n", "Location: http://google.com/\r\n\r\n";


OR

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Status: 301 I AM NOT CLOAKING\r\n", "Location: http://google.com/\r\n\r\n";

Nice Bomps, thanks!

As a side note, I've never 301d when I've cloaked - always 302d. Any preference for you?

Actually, when I am keeping the visitor on the same domain I don't usually redirect, but
instead just use my perl code to deliver different content.  No particular advantage, just
habit I suppose.

Most of my redirecting nowadays is for spoofed sites, (a one page site that looks innocent
enough for others to approve a link), and in those cases, the SEs get the 301 to my money site.

'Spose I should have qualified as shadowing, not cloaking (because I cloak the same way).

Ah, gotcha ... cloaking the 301. Nice.
