in reply to http return code 200

200 means the request was completed successfully. See the HTTP specs, section 10 for the different status codes and what they mean.

As for how to generate them in perl, it's as simple as:

print "200 ok\n\n";

If you're talking HTTP/0.9 ... if you're using the CGI module, 200 is assumed when you call

header()

... if you want some other code, call

header( -status => $code )
