When I run it inline I get (paraphrasing because I won't have access to my box until tonight) "error in syntax at line 4 near 'Content-type: text/html...' Compilation aborted errors"

In response to Q2: I created the file on the box via ssh from my windows machine.

In response to Q3: I checked the apache log and the only message I received was "Premature end of headers" which had me spinning in circles for a while trying to figure out what my print's weren't coming through.

I tried what you suggested as well, and it is in fact a symbolic link. It links to a second symbolic link called "perl5", which in turn links to an executable script "perl5.8.0". could this be the cause of my troubles... should I be using "#!/usr/bin/perl5.8.0"? Thanx for your reply!
