Hey,

I'm trying to figure out how to remove the extra "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 " header that is being printed out.

I have a script that calls another script that does the form validation.

This is not the exact coding, but I think its enough to show where my problem lies. 
#BP_FORM.pl
use strict;
use CGI;
my $INPUT = new CGI;

if ($INPUT->param('action') eq "bp_form") { &bp_form; }

sub bp_form {

    &bp_header;

use BusinessFormValidation;
my $webapp = BusinessFormValidation->new();
$webapp->run();

    &bp_footer;

}

sub bp_header {

print <<EOF;
This is the header, below the header will view the extra "Content-Type
+: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
EOF

}

sub bp_footer {

print <<EOF;
This leads me to think that the extra header is coming from calling th
+e "$webapp->run();" part of the form validation script.
EOF

}

Basically, since the extra header prints from the bp_form routine, I'm assuming the extra header is being printed in the BusinessFormValidation.pm. The problem I'm having is I can't find the line anywhere in BusinessFormValidation.pm that prints the extra header.

However it does use certain modules that I think that's where my extra header is being printed. 
#top of BusinessFormValidation.pm

 package BusinessFormValidation;
use base CGI::Application;
use CGI::Application::ValidateRM;
use Data::FormValidator;
use CGI;
    $CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS = 0; 
    $CGI::POST_MAX = 1_751_120; #1.67mb
my $w = new CGI;

Is there anyway I can bypass this and remove the extra header?? I tried using the CGI feature unique header on top of my bp_form.pl script, but had no luck.

Thank you,

Anthony
