[MacPerl-WebCGI] What's the difference?

Hi:

I just ran into a situation that has me perplexed -- let me illustrate.

First, I am trying to get an environmental cgi script to do its thing 
in two different ways. One is a direct call to the cgi script that 
generates an internal html document for printing the environmental 
variables (this works); And the other, is a call to a smaller cgi 
script that is executed from within a shtml document (this doesn't 
work the same). Let me illustrate.

First, the self-contained cgi code (as provided by chuck) which works:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>ENV Variables</title></head>
<body bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" text=\"#000000\">
<h1>Environment Variables</h1><hr>
Environment Variables [ENV]<P>\n";
foreach $ele (keys (%ENV)) {
print "[$ele]\t$ENV{$ele}<BR>\n";
}
print "</body></html>";
exit;

This code executes very well and produces the result I want as shown by:

    http://www.sperling.com/cgi-bin/envirVariables.cgi

However, when I place a condensed version of the cgi script (named 
"ev.cgi") such as:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
foreach $ele (keys (%ENV)){
print "[$ele]\t$ENV{$ele}<BR>\n";
}
print "all done\n";


And then, executed this cgi script from a .shtml document, namely:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>This is a Environmental Variables test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<h1>Environment Variables</h1><hr>
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/ev.cgi"-->
</body>
</html>

As shown by:

    http://sperling.com/test.shtml

I receive the same variables as shown before, but there are a lot 
more data that are shown and they are in a different order.

What's up with that? What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance for any replies and consideration.

tedd
