The browser is getting what appears to be the right html for the login form, but it thinks the content-type is text/plain for some reason.

This sounds like a known bug in IE: if it doesn't get a content-type header it will guess based on the file extension. Netscape does not have this bug.

I tried adding a meta tag in the html template to no avail:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html">

You can't do that, it needs to be a real header.

I also tries setting the header directly in the response in my login.pl file immediately before sending the header:

$r->header_out(content_type=> "text/html");
$r->send_http_header;

Try $r->content_type("text/html") instead of header_out.
