<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Example</title>
<form action="link.pl">
<div>
<select name="url">
<option value="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32">HTML 3.2</option>
<option value="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/">HTML 4.01</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Darling, you send me.">
</div>
</form>

And then get something like the following named 'link.pl' and up and running on the server:

#!usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI qw(redirect param);
print redirect param 'url';
