[users@httpd] Perl cgi question

[Sean Davis <sd...@mail.nih.gov>]

I have a simple perl cgi script.  It runs fine from the command line from
the cgi-bin directory, but not in the browser.  I'm sure it is something
simple, but any ideas why it works from the command line but not the
browser?  Here is the error_log output:

[Thu Jan 05 10:20:45 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Can't locate

[Thu Jan 05 10:20:45 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: testcgi.pl

And the testcgi.pl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use lib '/Users/sdavis/Documents/workspace/DogDB/lib';

use CGI;
use Dog::HTML::DogForm;

my $form = Dog::HTML::DogForm->new;

display_page($form);

sub display_page 
{ 
    my $form = shift;
    
    my $q = CGI->new();
    
    print $q->header();
    print $q->start_html();
    print $form->start_html;
    foreach my $field ($form->fields) {
        print $field->html . "\n";
    }
    print $form->end_html;
    print $q->end_html();
}

Finally, the Scriptalias directive and Directory:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>



Thanks,
Sean
