#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#################

if ($ENV{"REQUEST_METHOD"} eq 'GET') { $buffer = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; }
else { read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}); }

@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);

foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);

$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;

$FORM{$name} = $value;
}

$q = $form{'query'};
$urltl = "/sr/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=$q";
$urlweb = "/cgi-bin/alta/plebiusvista.pl?q=$form{'query'}";

if ($FORM{'rd'} eq 'tl')
{
print "Location: $urltl\n\n";
exit;
}

if ($FORM{'rd'} eq 'web')

print "Location: $urlweb\n\n";
exit;
}

The only thing I can think of is to combine the two scripts. Or make some sort of JavaScript setup that will open 2 windows with 1 mouse click.
