the LAN was the bug!
should have thought of that before, it's just too simple...
the network transfers the data in binary mode! this is the first thing you learn as a rookie, but i just didn't think about something that simple....

Hmm.. maybe that is it, I haven't tried connecting via a LAN. Interesting, though.

Yes, it has happened to me a number of times. I'm not really sure what it is, because the code looked fine the way you had it.

I eventually got this one to work, but I had to move the mime header above the rest of it:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<EOF;
hello world!
EOF

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I also put a space between the print and the <<.
