oh man, I've seen this "premature end of script..." error before but I
can't remember how I exactly fixed it.
I did a search on altavista for
http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&kl=XX&q=%22premature+end+of+script%22
and I found this from http://www.interspeed.net/faqcgi.html#7
[...]
7. Why am I getting a "Premature end of Script Header" or other errors?
The major error you will see when calling your script will
be the infamous
"Premature end of script Headers" error. To fix this, check
the following:
- Make sure that you are calling Perl correctly
(#!/usr/local/bin/perl) many
times scripts call it with a (!#/usr/bin/perl). You will
find this line usually at the
very top of your script.
- Be sure that you uploaded your cgi script(s) in ASCII mode,
NOT binary. CGI
scripts are text files that need to be uploaded in ASCII
format.

I hope this helps.
