Not using the CGI module but using Perl with CGI on apache I'm trying to output some HTML with an external stylesheet, I seem to remember this not working for external .js' as well.
style.css
H1 {
  font: normal 10pt Arial;
}

[download]
style.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;

print CGI->header;

print <<'END'
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Css</TITLE>
<LINK REL=StyleSheet TYPE='text/css' HREF=style.css></LINK>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Not styled</H1>
</BODY></HTML>
END

[download]

It seems to try to execute the stylesheet and I don't know why. From apache error_log - readwrite permission on style.css gives permission denied to execute, execute permission gives Exec format error.
Thanks, Dom.
