This probably won't help, but I was getting the same dialog box when
accessing directories, but that was using HTML::Mason.
The problem seems to arise when your handler returns something (a status
code) but hasn't send any data. Turning off buffering ($|) will only help
if you actually send something. Try telnetting to port 80 on the web server
and issue some HTTP commands directly, and see what the response is; that
might give you some insight.
I am always careful to not call die or return until I have sent the header,
since that can cause the situation you are seeing.
