[MacPerl] Browser Redirect Script (Thanks)

To all of you who sent in help for a browser redirect script - Thanks. 
Though I will continue to tinker this is what I have come up with if anyone
is interested.  It will print out a message directing your viewer to the
most recent browsers based upon their OS.

P.S: I have been having a heck of a time getting these to execute on an NT
Server (the administrator has to set permissions even though it appears to
be rwxr-xr-x(755)) from my end.  Anyway I would love to move my site to a
Mac Shop.
Does anyone know of a place that can come close to this on a Mac Server:
100 Megs storage
3 GB Month Traffic
Anonymous FTP
Full CGI Bin Access
$20/month.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
