Hello, might someone be able to help me? Here I am trying to create a small form mailer cgi, adapting it from a much larger file that currently works on my server. However, I am getting the dreaded error 500: premature end of script headers. sendit.pl 
#!/bin/perl

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "GET") {$buffer = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};}
elsif ($ENV{'REQUENT_METHOD'} eq "POST")
    {read(STDIN,$buffer,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});}

$bufferb = $buffer;
@forminputs = split(/&/, $bufferb);

foreach $forminput (@forminputs)
{
    ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $forminput);

    $value =~ tr/+/ /;
    $value =~ s/%([a-fA-f0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;

    $in{$name} = $value;
}
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

#mail sent to admin
open (LMAIL, "|usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
print LMAIL("To: $in{myEmail}\n");
print LMAIL ("From: $in{Email}\n");
print LMAIL ("Subject: $in{Form}\n");

print LMAIL ("--------------------\n\n");
print LMAIL("$in{Message}\n\n");

#mail sent to user
open (MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");
print MAIL<<toEnd;
To: $in{Email}
From: $in{myEmail}
Subject: $in{Form}

Thanks for your email! \n\n

toEnd
    print MAIL ("\n.\n");

#submit screen

print ("<html><head<title>$in{Form}</title></head>");
print ("<body bgcolor=\"ffffff\">");

print ("Thanks for your email.");

print ("</body></html");

My code is by no means perfect, as I've all ready picked out 3 bugs and realized I had originally uploaded it as binary instead of ascii. While I am able to properly chmod sendit.pl I suspect there might be some trouble with the endline characters and QVT-Term. I thank you kindly. :)
