premature end of script headers

[loosebruce]

I'm using two perl CGI scripts:
one activated by

<FORM ACTION=&quot;/cgi-bin/ptsurvey.cgi&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot;>

in an HTML page,
the other activated by

<!--#exec cgi=&quot;/cgi-bin/ptslog.cgi&quot;-->

in an SHTML page.

Both work fine, but the page that uses

<!--#exec cgi=&quot;/cgi-bin/ptslog.cgi&quot;-->

always results in "premature end of script headers" message in the error log.

I've tried everything I can think of including other scripts, but it seems to boil down to the fact that I get that error message every time I use

<!--#exec cgi=&quot;/cgi-bin/filename.cgi&quot;-->)

in an SHTML page.

I'm using SGI/UNIX/Irix/Apache

I don't know what the error is, but are you using the -w switch as part of the path to perl? for me this is:
[tt]
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
[/tt]
this will give more verbose error messages that might help you to narow down the problem. Also, do te scripts work correctly when not run via server side includes?

Will.
