See Suffering from buffering. You probably had an error and it was output before your headers.	[reply]

The first output of a CGI script should be a header, such as: `Content-type: text/html` [download] The first blank line output signifies the end of the header. If the script never output a blank line, for whatever reason, you get that error. Look up the CGI::Carp docs for some tips on diagnosing CGI scripts. Make sure your script doesn't use DOS line endings on a Unix server, especially at the end of the first shebang line. Make sure you have set the permissions for any uid on the server to execute the script. Check your server's logfiles. -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply] [d/l]

Look a apache log file for catch your errors. Maybe CGI Documentation or Tutorials will be useful for you. -------------------------------- SV* sv_bless(SV* sv, HV* stash);	[reply]

`perldoc -q 500 (aka "My CGI script runs from the command line but not + the browser. (500 Server Error)")` [download] will tell you a lot about what you want to know. `perldoc -q messages (aka "How can I get better error messages from a C +GI program?")` [download] will tell you even more. -- Regards, Helgi Briem helgi DOT briem AT decode DOT is	[reply] [d/l] [select]
