Re: CGI: Premature end of script headers

That script is SO badly written that your errors could be comming from anywhere. Here's the output from the perl compiler on the command line (after I removed all the "==>" stuff):

perl -c test.pl

I would suggest looking for something better (what the h*ll is this thing supposed to do anyway?)

If shareware code of this company is any indication of the quality of their Pro products' code I would definitely recommend against buying from them. Arjen	[reply]

I appreciate the quick response from everyone. Thanks for taking the time to look at the code. Joost, the code is part of a package to manage accounts and passwords to a Web site. It's freeware from http://www.siteinteractive.com/acctlite/. Maybe I'll take your advice and search for something else! Thnx, Dave	[reply]

Their is a package I looked at and one of my juniors used for a client called BURP (Basic User Registration Package). It can be found at this location. But be warned - it is mod_perl based. However it was a snap to install, the documentation is very clear and the code was very well written IIRC. jdtoronto	[reply]
