Thanks for the leads folks.

OK, I've pared this one down as far as it can go, yet I still get the same "Premature end of script headers" errors. I also tried it using CGI, which I figured knows the html spec better than I ever will. Any further ideas?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $preserve_date = '2006-09-01';
my %registrations;

print <<EOF;
Content-type: text/html

<html>
<head>
<title>Masking Private Data</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Masking Private Data</h2>
This script is masking private data in the test data set with a depart
+ure date before $preserve_date.  Records related to later events are 
+being preserved.<p>
</body>
</html>
EOF

1;

sub parse_date {
  my ($date_str) = @_;
  my $date = ParseDate($date_str);
  $date = substr($date,0,4) . '-' . substr($date,4,2) . '-' . substr($
+date,6,2);
  return $date;
}
