Im getting the following error:

Premature end of script headers

followed by Error 500

When running some, not all of my perl scripts

Googling found this:
http://httpd.apache.org/d...#premature-script-headers

But this will mean more to you than me.

EDIT: I see this has been raised before, but I dont have a .htacess file

My main site isn't working still, but I uploaded a test script just to get some confidence and that started off with getting the end of script error. A quick check of the permissions showed it was not executable, so I change the permissions to 700 (rwx------) and it then worked... just need to understand why my main app isn't showing any life....

This may help others.
I was getting this error and I was relying on $ENV{C_DOCUMENT_ROOT} to get the path to my scripts (perl).
As $ENV{C_DOCUMENT_ROOT} no longer existed, I amended the path manually so it was correct.
Now I dont get the "Premature end of script headers" error. I assume that because my path was wrong I was trying to access a script in an area of the webserver I was not allowed, hence the error.

Or you could add this near the top of your script:


It'll be a bit more portable that way.
