Where? Be precise when posting code snippets, the position of the print statement is critical. To clear up some of the confusing advice you've been getting: - the extension is not important, .cgi is fine. - you don't need the CGI:Carp module (don't complicate life unnecessarily) - your problem is simply that you script does not output a content-type header. Did you read the doc I referred you to? If you carefully reproduce the three lines in the program in the docs, it will work. If you still have problems, run the script from the command line and post the output, ie: $ cd /var/www/cgi-bin/ $ ./hello.cgi Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > > Doesn't seem to matter what's in the file either. > > I discovered this problem as I was trying to install MoveableType (so > I really need it to work without me having to rename everything to .pl > or add extra lines of code). > > So now what? > > Thanks. > > > > > > >>> strycat@xxxxxxxxx 2/21/2006 8:12:17 AM >>> > > All of my perl scripts generate this error when I try to have Apache > > serve them.
