I tried telneting to your web server to see what's going on. Look at this: $ telnet www.nonserviam.net 80 Trying 65.34.152.103... Connected to nonserviam.net. Escape character is '^]'. GET /modperl/index.pl HTTP/1.1 Host: www.nonserviam.net Hello!Connection closed by foreign host. The HTTP server did not return a proper HTTP header, which is why lynx doesn't like it. Looking at your mod_perl configuration... > PerlSendHeader Off Try doing it with PerlSendHeader On. You also might need to add this line at the beginning of your script: print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; (or text/html)
