Hi Michael -

Make sure you're printing out a "Content-type:" header. In perl, that
can be somthing like:

print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";

or if you are using the CGI module (and you probably should be):

use CGI;
$q = new CGI;
print $q->header;

See the CGI module documentation "perldoc CGI" for more information on
that.

Hope it helps.
