What does "Premature end of script headers" mean? I've gotten it for two .pl scripts I have tried to run :(
Is it a problem with the .pl file or with any .html files that link to it (I was unsure about directing the document to the .pl file in the cgi-bin).
Script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# location of Perl (above) - check your doc or ask admin
