Why Malformed header in 9 lines of code

[hogtied]

Hello,

I have this cgi just to test. All it suppose to do is write "print test" in a text file called accstats.txt.

Here's the script.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$accstats = "accstats.txt";

open (FILE, ">>$accstats");
print FILE "print test";
close (FILE);

I called my web hosting provider and they said that there is nothing wrong at their end. I find that hard to believe.

Anyone have anything to say about this. The more the better because this is the post I'm going to show them.

Thanks,
Hogtied :mad:

Hi.
Worked just fine on my server.
Be sure that you upload in ascii only.
Can't always rely on the ftp 'auto' mode.
Unless you have specifically setup the pl or cgi extension to
always upload in ascii, I've seen it upload in binary before.

Even though it doesn't return anything to the browser,
you still took care of the content-type.

Not sure.

Did you check the CHMOD of the file(s) ?

Good call crackn101. I upload the file as a binary. Thanks
