Without optEarlyHttpHeader Embperl is buffering your output and if anything
is ok sends the headers and afterwards the content of the page. If you print
directly to STDOUT, this will send directly to the browser and not buffered
by Embperl, so it will be shown up before the http headers. You can use the
optRedirectStdout to also buffer normal output to Perl's STDOUT, but this
will not affect shell scripts.
If you want to buffer the shell script output, you need to read the output
and output it afterwards:
[+
local $/= undef ;
open FH, "foo.sh|" ;
$out = <FH> ;
close FH ;
$out ;
+]
