Re: Yet Another Premature End of Script Headers Question

I believe you need cariage return/new line combinations after the headers. Try:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "<HTML><HEAD>";
print "<TITLE>CGI Test</TITLE>";
print "</HEAD>";
print "<BODY><H2>Hello, world.</H2>";
print "</BODY></HTML>";

Also, might I recomend "use CGI"

Don't confuse CGI output with network output. The CGI script's output is going to be fixed up by apache before it hits the network. The web server will take care of line endings and extra header information. For a simple script such as this one, you don't need CGI. You could use a heredoc though. :) `#!/usr/bin/perl print <<"CGI"; Content-type: text/html <html> <head><title>CGI test</title></head> <body> <H2>Hello, world.</H2> </body> CGI` [download] -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com>	[reply] [d/l]

I've tried it with \r\n\r\n as well, and it doesn't work. RE: CGI: yes, I use CGI in the actual applications that I'm trying to install, but I want to get the simplest case working first. I'm still left with the question of why nothing more shows up in the Apache error log.	[reply]
