Very Computer

Greetings people,

Thank you for the help from my last posting. One of these days I will be
able to help somebody back again!

I turn to you now in my hour of need...

I have some scripts runnning in a subdirectory off my /cgi-bin/ directory:

The first test.pl - works fine on the server and delivered by Cern 3.0A to
the browser, all working fine and dandy as expected.

The rest, all in the same directory as test.pl, don't work at all.

I get this kind of thing from my scripts (the last couple of lines shown
when running Cern 3.0A in Very Verbose mode):

Child....... done
Child....... Standalone specific IO redirections done.
Child....... redirecting stderr to stdout, and then doing execve()
Parent...... child pid 1231 has finished
TimeOut..... set for process 1231 (300 secs)

As opposed to this:

Child....... done
Child....... Standalone specific IO redirections done.
Child....... redirecting stderr to stdout, and then doing execve()
Parent...... child pid 1353 has finished
TimeOut..... set for process 1353 (300 secs)
Ok.......... script result content-type text/html
Calculating. content-length on the fly

Calculated.. content-length: 26
............ Header section for client
HTTP/1.0 200 Document follows
Server: CERN/3.0A
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 17:29:54 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 26

for my working test script. OK, so it's an error in the script. Well, it
works on NCSA's HTTPD and Roxen Challenger 1.1. I have tried moving the

Content-type: text/html\n\n

Header right to the top of the script as per an FAQ I found, but to no
avail. I know it's not a lot to go on, and I am asking the ridiculous but

a) has anyone had these kind of problems with Cern?
b) do any of you run Cern?

Even some vague pointers would help, or I can go into more detail offline.
Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope...
