CGI scripts

[CAT4361]

I am trying to put a CGI script onto my site but I keep getting the following error:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

I have tried uploading a very simple script incase there is a bug in the script:

#!D:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe -wT
use strict;
use CGI ':standard';

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello world";

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Are you using a .cgi extension?

I managed to get it working, it doesn't seem to like the '-' before the switch in the shebang line...

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

It prefers:
#!/usr/bin/perl wT

No idea why but it seems to be working !!

(I have saved my scripts with the extension .pl)

I know I have changed the shebang line but I have tried it with both:

#!D:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe wT
and

#!/usr/bin/perl wT

and it's definately the '-' in the switch causing the problem.
