Well, I found out what was the problem: When I investigated anlgform.pl, I
only saw that analog was being invoked through a pipe, and it seemed that
the pipe contained some configuration commands. My assumption was that
analog would automagically put out the Content-type header. Running my
script through more proved different. After I added the header before I
invoke analog with print `analog... `, my script now works fine. That is,
analog is invoked and produces output. It's not the right output, but
that's a different problem I'll fix later. Thanks for giving me the
insight to look at analog's output :-)
