There are (at least) two ways - you probably want the second one.    
If not, then tell what you are trying to do and we'll figure it out.

1)  In the controller you can return $self->redirect($new_url)  
instead of return OK, $self->evaluate_template("template").   You  
can't do that from the templates (it wouldn't be hard to do; we've  
just never needed it.


2)  If Combust::Redirect is enabled, as it is for most of the sites  
and can be for the rest, then you can setup redirects in  
the .htredirects file - there's an example on the www site:
	http://svn.perl.org/perl.org/docs/live/www/.htredirects

The syntax is
   regexp   target_url  options

options can be "perm", "temp" or "intern" (or shortened or longer  
version of that).

internal gives an internal redirect (not seen by the user)
permanent a 301 response
temporary (the default) a 302 response.
