Please don't take this as me being rude. I think I didn't explain myself well enough.

If I were missing a header altogether though, wouldn't I get a malformed header error, not a premature end of header?

I have a line in my code that prints print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; before anything else. What has me confused is why the script runs in the browser with some parameters but not with others when the only thing I changed is the database I was using.

Regardless of the parameters passed, the script runs fine from the command prompt. The header info produced in that manner looked ok to me too. I believe that the problem has nothing to do with the actual header. . . I think that perl dying in that manner is producing the header problems.

Still stumped,
