[cgi-prototype-users] header issue?

[benh]

Hello all I'm new to the list, so... umm... hello?

Ok heres the issue that I'm having, I keep getting 'Premature end of
script headers:' errors when running any CGI::Prototype; app. Heres
what I've done.

started with test.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use base CGI::Prototype;
main->activate;

that throws the header error...
so I looked the error up on apache.org
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ-F.html#premature-script-headers)
Thinking that it's an apache issue.

thinking that I copied something incorrect I ran test.cgi in terminal
and got this output:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

This page intentionally left blank.

humm... just as expected. So next step was to take that output and
just print it via perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

This page intentionally left blank.";

And that works? So my question is where did I screw something up? Is
this an issue with something on my end (like permissions?) or is this
an apache setup issue?

Any pointers in the right direction would be very helpful.

Whenever you get an error like that, you need to look at the
error log. What does the error log say?

[oop! sorry Randal this will be a dupe for you, didn't CC the list ]

hay Randal thanks for the module though as stated before the error in
Premature end of script headers: /home/benh/public_html/beta/test.cgi

I didn't cc the list because I'm coaching you through basic CGI debugging,
which has nothing to do with CGI::Prototype.

It's very NOT COOL for you to take private email and send it back to
the list.

Actually, I got the message he was replying to on the list as such,
which you did appear to have Cc-ed. As such it does not appear he
forwarded a private email (unless I'm missing something big).

Orig message below, with headers.

Sorry, I misoperated my mailreader. I had wanted it to be a private
message, but obviously, it's archived at sf.net, so my mistake,
I'm sorry.
