With all due respect, your print statement is why I recommend to people that they
should not do
this manually. There should be two newlines at the end of that (actually a \r\n or
\012\015, but
usually the Web server catches the error and corrects for it (something I have a
serious beef
with, but that's just me (oh, and I use too many parentheses))).
It's those two newlines that allow the user agent to distinguish between the end of
the headers
and the beginning of the entity-body. By doing it manually, as opposed to letting
CGI.pm handle
it, code is much more prone to errors.
I realize you mentioned your version of CGI.pm had a problem. That's when you track
down the
problem and fix it in one place rather than develop work-arounds that may turn into
'do not
work-arounds'. :)
