Update
maybe you should specify the content-type first ?
you are also using a semi-colon instead of a comma at the end of print header here's a sample code (stolen from the documentation :-) ) 
print header,
        start_html('A Simple Example'),
        h1('A Simple Example'),
        start_form,
        "What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p,
        "What's the combination?", p,
        checkbox_group(-name=>'words',
               -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'],
               -defaults=>['eenie','minie']), p,
        "What's your favorite color? ",
        popup_menu(-name=>'color',
               -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),p,
        submit,
        end_form,
        hr;

   if (param()) {
       print "Your name is",em(param('name')),p,
         "The keywords are: ",em(join(", ",param('words'))),p,
         "Your favorite color is ",em(param('color')),
         hr;
   }
