HTML code shown not HTML

[Phil's Yahoo <ph...@yahoo.co.uk>]

i have updated my http.conf so that "PerlSendHeaders Off"
i also have put a empty line after the content type in file
i have also changed "Content-type" to "Content-Type"
and still the script is showing HTML code and not displaying the page as 
HTML.
the code i am using is a CGIproxy script from 
http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/
to make things more interesting none of the headers will work at all
Location -----> doesnt work for redirecting
Content-Length ---->doesnt work

i have no idea why this is happening because headers is one of the first 
things in all
tutorials so i thought that it would be preatty standard.
is this a problem with

    * Apache
    * Perl
    * CGIProxy

just wondering.
any help would be very usefull

the next (empty) line is the last line of the request

and here comes the first one of the answer. The status line ("HTTP/1.1

Not if you don't reveal more of your setup and test.pl.

I think, test.pl is simply printing "Content-type: text/html\n\n...". Is 
it running under mod_perl or mod_cgi? Apache::Registry? SetHandler 
modperl or perl-script? mp1 or mp2?

If mp2 this may help:

Problem with mod_perl/apache Headers

[Phil's Yahoo <ph...@yahoo.co.uk>]

i have traced the problem with the headers by using "curl -v" on the address
and i think the problem is because after apache has sent the headers it 
inserts a empty
line so that when i print headers in perl i just writes the text and 
egnores the headers.
the following is the exact output of the page.
START
[root@p15162004 root]# curl -v www.anfmailorder.com/proxy/test.pl
* About to connect() to www.anfmailorder.com:80
* Connected to p15162004.pureserver.info (217.160.184.86) port 80
 > GET /proxy/test.pl HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.9.8 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl 7.9.8 (OpenSSL 
0.9.7a) (ipv6 enabled)
Host: www.anfmailorder.com
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*

Content-type: text/html

Hello, world!
* Closing connection #0
[root@p15162004 root]#
END

any ideas how to remove this extra line or how to append the header onto 
the end of the headers???

is there an empty line after the last header? You can check it with 
"curl -v" or telnet.
