This should do it for you (or something similar). 

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   if { ![HTTP::header exists "Referer"] } { 
     switch -glob [HTTP::uri] { 
       "/xyz*" { 
         HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com/pqr" 
       } 
       "/abc*" { 
         HTTP::redirect "http://www.abc.com/def" 
       } 
     } 
   } 
 }

Notice Referer is spelled wrong in the RFC so don't type in "Referrer" or it will never pass.
