I've installed AM Lite on an HP-UX 11.0 system running Apache 2 with PERL 5.8.0. When accessing http://root/cgi-bin/amadmin.pl, I get the following error:

Server error!
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: /opt/apache2/lib/htdocs/cgi-bin/amadmin.pl
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster Error 500

I've done the following:

1. Validated that the path to perl is correct.
2. Ensured permissions on the cgi-bin dir and the file are loose enough (755).
3. Run the script from the command line to ensure the PERL binary is accessible by the user www.
4. I've done some other things, but my brain is fried, as I've been looking at this problem most of the day!

Following are the errors in the Apache error_log:

syntax error in file amadmin.pl at line 221, next 2 tokens "grep {"
syntax error in file amadmin.pl at line 224, next 2 tokens "@file)"
syntax error in file amadmin.pl at line 241, next token "}"

syntax error in file amadmin.pl at line 479, next token "}"
syntax error in file amadmin.pl at line 485, next 2 tokens "grep {"
amadmin.pl has too many errors.
