This is interesting - check this out -

-rwxr-xr-x 1 chip users 158 May 10 09:25 try.cgi
is the name of this file you sent me:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header,
start_html('hello world'),
h1('hello world'),
end_html;
---------------------------------------
-rwxr-xr-x 1 chip users 187 May 10 09:30 try2.cgi
is the name of a file I wrote, give same results:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<body><head><title>My first script</title></head>";
print "<body bgcolor=\"white\"><h1>Hi there!</h1></body></html>";
---------------------------------------
this is the html calling above:
<html><head><title></title>
</head><body>
<form action="/cgi-bin/try.cgi" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="HitMe!">
</form></body></html>
(just change try.cgi to try2.cgi for the other version)
----------------------------------------
Results of running the above html in browser:
try.cgi results in server error:from error_log:
Premature end of script headers:/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/try.cgi
try2.cgi works
Some more info:

I don't know how to use the debugger. I entered perl -d try.cgi and it started
working, then at the prompt I entered n for the next line, it asked for name=value
pairs, so I entered Hi There then I don't know what to do next, ctrl-d interrupts it,
so I'm not getting to the end of the program properly.
Hope this helps. I can write a simple cgi like the one above and it works, but when I
download or copy/paste one, like the one you sent me, it doesn't work. wierd or what?
On the FBSD machine I use the ee editor, via telnet from my NT machine. On the NT
machine I am trying UltraEdit32, then save the file to the FBSD box through network
neighborhood path.
