Hi everyone, as you can see i'm new here and also new to CGI scripting. So, what i'm doing is reading "Begining with Perl" which i found to be excelent, but i'm stuck right now in one exemple. Here i go: i have this code: 
    

#!/usr/bin/perl 
# 401response.pl 
 
use warnings; 
use strict; 
use CGI; 
 
my $cgi = new CGI; 
 
print $cgi->header('type text/html','401 Authorization Required!');

I just want to know why the browser shows nothing. Error log is clear, access log says this: 
    

127.0.0.1 - - [15/Jul/2009:01:01:53 +0000] "GET /cgi-bin/401response.p
+l HTTP/1.1" 401 -

[download]
Does anyone knows what could be the problem? Shouldnt my browser show the error i've putted on header() ? (i've tested with 2 browsers). Thank you ;)
