Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] document contains no data

[Richard Smith <unfeasibly_tall@yahoo.com>]

Hi Keiko,

Reinhold seems to have answered most of the problems
there. I put it down to a Netscape foible too. I have
found that Netscape can be a little sensitive to the
MIME header too. I always print it on a seperate line
(rather than including it in a 'here' print),
otherwise Nutscrape gets confused.

Have you saved your script as a '.cgi' extension?
