If you want a refresh directive in your HTML page itself, use
something like the following in the <HEAD> section of your
template:

  <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="10; URL=http://domain.com/my.cgi?rm=new_run_mode";>

See http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/head/meta.html for
details.

If you want a refresh directive in your HTTP header, use
something like this:

  sub somerunmode {
    my $self= shift;
    my $url= 'http://domain.com/my.cgi?rm=new_run_mode';
    $self->header_props( -refresh => "10; URL=$url" );
    ...
  }
