使用perl将一个html页面重定向到另一个页面

Question

I have a html form

<form id="branch" method="get" action="/x/local/.../perl_code.pl">

Branch Name : <input type="text" name="textBox">

<input type="submit" value="Generate">
</form>

and in perl_code.pl I have this

use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI qw(:standard);
my $value = uc(param('textBox'));
system "perl /x/local/.../perl_CODE21.pl $value";
#other system commands that work and output the index2.html
print redirect(-url=>'http://server.com:8080/project_name/index2.html');

What I eventually want to do is, get the input from the text box in index1.html retrieve the value in perl_code and do some system commands which print out index2.html and finally redirect it to index2.html . I have tried to manually inspect all other system commands and their output, they work. I am not able to retrieve the text value and pass it and also redirecting does not work. The browser redirects to perl_code.pl and gives a 404. I am currently running out of time. simple answers will be appreciated.

EDIT:

This is a servlet program, so also suggest any modifications to web.xml if any.

You can't redirect after an output to stdout. Either redirect or print, not both. Check that your system call doesn't do anything to stdout; or even better, redirect its stdout to something just in case (like /dev/null ).
