Perl Installation

[dalhousi]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Perl. I've been trying to run Perl and Apache under Windows.

I downloaded and installed Perl from activestate.com. I linked it with Apache; and I wrote the first line in my Perl Script: #!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe

However, it is not working. Everytime I request the Perl page, it gives me the error: "Internal Server Error". I checked Apache error logs file and I found the line:
"malformed header from script. Bad header=<H1>Hello World</H1>"

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

Perl scripts need to print a complete http header before printing aything else to the browser:

#!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe
[b]print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";[/b]
print "Hello World!";
