Dear wise Monks

I have some very old mod_perl 1.0 code (perl 5.6.1) that runs under Apache 1.0 no problem. But when I run this code under mod_perl 2.0 I get this error: 

malformed header from script. Bad header=</font> : bopper.mcgi

[download]
I can get the code to run if I change my httpd.conf Files directive so that it is cgi-script but I would like to have the improved performance of running in mod_perl with perl-script.

Is there something I need to do with the $cgi->header() calls or something?

Thanks
