Okay...

To see the available env variables, do:

     print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
     print "$_ = $ENV{$_}\n" for keys %ENV;

Maybe you are looking for $ENV{REDIRECT_REQUEST_URI} (for the case it's 
available).

This is a better way to redirect from a CGI script:

     print "Location: http://www.lausd.net/error.html\n\n";
