in thread Non-CGI perl scripts on a web server?

Thanks for your reply, so if there's nothing being returned to the browser i don't need the line at all?

If you don't mind the browser possibly displaying a "500" Internal Server Error and a "404" Not found in return, you don't.

A simple way of stopping it from doing that may be a print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"; to deliver back an empty text document.

Cheers, Sören
