Hi Petras,

could it be that you simply need to include, 

print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"

[download]
change your first line (now second line) to: 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

[download]
or if all else fails, unbuffer STDOUT: 
local STDOUT;
select((select(STDOUT), $|++)[0]);

The permissions on the script are OK, if a bit overly generous (755 would do, or even 555). The Perl script does get executed (hence the 'Premature end of script headers', otherwise you'd get a variation on 'Command interpreter not found'), so you're looking at a problem with the script itself.

Update: Oh, and it's never a good idea to go around smacking sysadmins. They usually have way bigger things to smack you back with, especially the ones of the BOFH variety :).
