I've been trying to set up a simple message board for my site using a
popular CGI script written in Perl (WWWBoard from Matt's Script Archive),
but every time I try to access it I get the following error:

500 Server Error
The server has encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

The following may be relevant.

          Premature end of script headers:
/var/spool/net/vhosts/cs_utexas_edu/www/users/aasim/cgi-bin/board.cgi

I'm a newbie's newbie, but I'm fairly certain the script is correct.  I've
checked the syntax using "perl -c board.cgi", and it claims it's fine.  I've
checked all permissions and they're fine.  I've even tried other simple
scripts ("Hello, World") and I always get the same error.  I did a search
for this particular problem and it seems that others have also run into it,
but I can't find any solution.

Any thoughts?  Like I said, I'm very green in these matters so I apologize
in advance if this may be a trite question.  The link for the board is:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/aasim/board/index.html

Thanks,
Aasim
