Jeremy,
Welcome to the wonderful world "Violating Standards"! Microsoft, in their
less-than-infinite
wisdom, decided that their browsers will ignore the Content-type header and instead
examine the
beginning of the document sent over to determine the type. There is nothing you can
do about
this.
However, you can cheat.
Translate the characters that might cause HTML trouble (e.g., all of the tags in XML
:) and use an
HTML document. Here's one way (untested, but it should put you on the right path):
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use HTML::Entities;
my $xml;
open XML, "< somedoc.xml" or die $!;
{
local $/;
$xml = <XML>;
}
close XML;
$xml = encode_entities( $xml );
print
header,
start_html( -title => "An XML Document" ),
pre( tt( $xml ) ),
end_html;
Cheers,
Curtis "Ovid" Poe

Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl:
push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//;
shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A
