Does this happen with all scripts?
Try it with a siple script that doesn't use CGI.pm:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "Hello Perl\n";
__END__
see if it gives you the same problem.
Another possible problem could be uploading the file.
Are you running the script on your own machine or are you FTPing it to a
remote server?
If you FTP it, you have to do it in ASCII mode. Don't use AUTO or BINARY
as most FTPua's don't recognise .pl and .cgi files as ASCII. They will
upload as binary, and CR/LF pairs will not go through correctly. This
will cause your program to terminate abnormally in most cases. (It would
most likely get stuck at the first line itself)
