Re: OK, tell me WHY, this is only a hello world script

Why not use the CGI.pm defaults to your advantage? The following code is taken right off of perldoc.com. It works under any normal circumstances.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
   use CGI qw/:standard/;           # load standard CGI routines
   print header,                    # create the HTTP header
         start_html('hello world'), # start the HTML
         h1('hello world'),         # level 1 header
         end_html;                  # end the HTML

Also I think you need to have " around END in your example. And you definately do need two \n's after the Content Message if for some reason you don't just use header();

print <<"END";
<html>
</html>
END

I'm still pretty new here, but I just spent a good deal of time rewriting some code using the CGI.pm so its pretty fresh in my mind.
