in thread CGI: newlines, write exactly "\r\n" to end the headers, then turn off binmode

Hi

The great thing about CGI.pm is that it was written by guy who knew the RFC like the back of his hand and then some 25 years ago ...

Talking rfc/newlines 25 years after CGI.pm gave the world header() ... extreme waste of time, I stopped doing that 15 years ago :) (ok I start and stop every few years)

    Lincoln Stein's "Network Programming in Perl" is the best book that I've read in any programming language--despite it being outdated.
