In a few weeks\, we would definitely be able to answer you "Read the documentation!"\, because the forthcoming perl 5.6.0 will have an exact match on the last line of your error message​:

  Premature end of script headers   See Server error.

However\, even perl 5.005_03's perldiag man page manages a match in the first line of your diagnostic​:

Internal Server Error

Here's what the 5.6.0 documentation\, which expands a little on what 5.005_03 has to say\, will tell you about that​:

  Server error   This is the error message generally seen in a browser window when   trying to run a CGI program (including SSI) over the web. The actual   error text varies widely from server to server. The most   frequently-seen variants are "500 Server error"\, "Method (something)   not permitted"\, "Document contains no data"\, "Premature end of   script headers"\, and "Did not produce a valid header".

  This is a CGI error\, not a Perl error.

  You need to make sure your script is executable\, is accessible by   the user CGI is running the script under (which is probably not the   user account you tested it under)\, does not rely on any environment   variables (like PATH) from the user it isn't running under\, and   isn't in a location where the CGI server can't find it\, basically\,   more or less. Please see the following for more information​:

  http​://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FAQs/cgi/idiots-guide.html   http​://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FAQs/cgi/perl-cgi-faq.html   ftp​://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/www/cgi-faq   http​://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/interface.html   http​://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/WWW/faqs/www-security-faq.html

  You should also look at the perlfaq9 manpage.

Good luck. -- Dominic Dunlop
