Premature-End-of-Script-Headers-Error

Sample hello world script

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl
    # hello.pl -- my first perl script!
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
    print "Hello, world!\n";

• Check domain/apache error log file.
• Check /var/log/apache/suexec.log or /usr/local/apache/log/suexec.log file that should give a solution.

Reference: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/suexec.html

• Upload your Perl script in ASCII mode.
• Set the permission of the file to 755, which allows the script to be executed by everybody.

Tracking Errors in the Script

    perl -wc helloworld.pl

Will cause the Perl interpreter to check your script for syntax errors.

Running it without the syntax check options:

    perl -w helloworld.pl

• If something strange has gone wrong with your program and youâre not sure where you should look for help, try the -w switch first. It will often point out exactly where the trouble is.
