what you have works on my system, using mozilla as the browser.

http requires a blank line after headers, before the actual content. On my system, print $cgi->header('text/plain'); does that. You should run your program from the command line to see that that is happening on your system.

On the other hand, the extra "\n" doesn't hurt anything.
