The file name is dgConfigAdmin.cgi. I have explicitly configured the server to execute .cgi as .pl scripts. In fact, this script works properly and the error does not occur until the script calls itself to save some settings to a database. When I open or save the file that is being downloaded, it is the HTML that is supposed to display in the next step of the script.
I've tried to put an implicit > print qq[Content-Type: text/html\n\n]; just prior to the "here document" that displays the HTML (that gets downloaded), but that does not help. -----Original Message----- From: Charles K.

For some reason, your server doesn't know that it is supposed to execute the file. What is the file name? What extension is on the file? Where is it located? Do other cgi scripts run okay?
