As pointed out by Peter Prymmer, this is not even good enough; EBDIC
systems apparently need \r\n.  But the CGI.pm module takes care of all
this; I recommend using it, as it is now bundled with perl.

use CGI;
$x = new CGI;
print $x->header('text/plain');
print $x->redirect('http://pudge.net/');

etc.
