Re^4: Print Header in Perl v5.8.7

It didn't die. When I run the .cgi program from the command prompt, it works just fine. It outputs the html headers before printing DONE. Somehow, the html header isn't being sent to the browser.

Would you have more suggestions for me?

Thanks.

You are using a relative path. The current directory is not what you think it is. Your script dies before printing valid HTTP headers. Always print out valid headers first. Or use CGI::Carp with the `fatalsToBrowser` option.	[reply]

It didn't die. How do you know that? Did you read the error message in the error log or are you just guessing? Do you know why it might die when run from the web server but not from the command line? I do. Corion does. You don't have to believe me and you certainly don't have to take my advice, but if you don't really want help and aren't willing to take advice from people who've solved this problem at least a few times before, please make a note to that effect in your original post so we don't have to waste our time giving answers that you will ignore.
