Try typing it on the command line and testing it OUTSIDE of the httpd.
Like in UNIX, type "perl filename" on the command line and see if the 1st
line printed out is "content-type: text/html", with a blank line, then your
text data.  If not, then there's the problem!  More than likely, its a bug
in the script - typo, missing statement, missing something.
