Well since I first got here, my first idea for a script that I've never seen done was a program that took the parameters from a user and spit the out in alphabetical order. Now, I know this probably puts me back down to acolyte for my lack of knowledge here but I can't get this to work. When I run it on AP it runs perfectly, but when I run it on the web I type in the parameters, press "Submit" and get a 500 error which states : "Improper header text1". I don't get that error message! Oh well, heres the script so you can all tell me what I'm so stupid for :-). NOTE: This is just to be basic, nothing great is supposed to go on here.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use CGI qw(param); use diagnostics; use strict; my $query = new CGI; if ($query->param()) { foreach $key (sort {$a cmp $b} $query->param) { print "<STRONG>$key</STRONG> = "; my @values = $query->param($key); print join(", ",@values),"<BR>\n"; } }else{ print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print qq~ <HTml><head><title>Alphabetical Sorter</title></head> <body><h2 align="center">Alphabetical Sorter.</h2> <form method="post"> <input type="text" name="1"><Br> <input type="text" name="2"><Br> <input type="text" name="3"><Br> <input type="text" name="4"><Br> <input type="text" name="5"><Br> <input type="submit" value="submit form"> </form> ~; }

Help, please?
Update: I got this working thanks to chipmunk:-) +++++++++++ Thanks all
