Subject: "Premature end of Script Headers," Error in Perl CGI Script
Message-Id: <7jetg7$7r2$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Dear Perl Masters,
I am trying to write a simple Perl script that will take some values from
a form on a html page and use them in the script to create a new html
page that is then "print"(ed) to the browser for viewing.
I am working directly from the "Learning Perl" book of Randal L. Schwartz
& Tom Christiansen. The Ice Cream Script (found on page 186 for those who
have this wonderful book) does not work on my Server. The content of this
small script can be found at the end of this message.
Here is what I know:
-------------------------------------------------
File permissions are set correctly for execution.
The -w switch is on
The file is uploaded to my server correctly and
named correctly.
I have other ".pl" files working so it is correctly set
up to handle these correctly.
I have many other borrowed Perl scripts from other
sources that are working fine.
The Error that I get is the typical 500 Internal
Server Error, it then says "Premature end of
Script Headers"
What I don't know is:
-------------------------------------------------
What does "Premature end of Script Headers" mean?
What can I do to make the Script Headers not end prematurely?
This comes straight from a book, what is wrong and
making it not work?
Could this be my server? Everything else works
fine!
I still have limited knowledge of Perl and I am trying to learn more as
quickly as I can, this problem has halted my progress, I hope that I can
get this going and get a good explanation of what is causing this
frustrating problem.
Thanks for your time and help!
Sincerely,
Aaron Houghton

The main point here is that the question "Does Perl have a Y2K problem"
does not give you useful information, since the answer will be "No."
A *much* better question is to ask the author of a program, "Does this
particular Perl program called Bonzo-Perl-O-Rama which I found at your
site have a Y2K problem?"
You can most likely write Y2K compliant and *non* Y2K compliant programs
in C, C++, Basic, Cobol, Lisp, Fortran, Visual Basic, or any other
language, so asking about the language (or, in some cases) the interpreter
may not be appropriate.

Here's a brief summary of the documentation which comes with this module.
See the module itself for further details. It should propagate throughout
CPAN within the next few days.

NAME
List::Permutor - Process all of the possible permutations
of a list of items.
SYNOPSIS
use List::Permutor;
my $perm = new List::Permutor qw/ fred barney betty /;

print "One order is @set.\n";

INSTALLATION
See the instructions which came with your Perl distribution.
The current implementation uses no XS code, so this release
should be compatible with all systems.
VERSION
Currently version 0.022 or so, so some features (or even the
module's name!) may change in the future.

You'll want to take a look at the CGI.pm module that comes with Perl.
The code you want looks something like this (not tested):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
if ($q->param('pass')=='password') {
$q->redirect(-uri=>'http://mysite.com/yes.html',
-nph=>1);
} else {
$q->redirect(-uri=>'http://mysite.com/no.html',
-nph=>1);
}

you aren't dereferencing your inner arrays in your loop:
@final = ([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]);
$length = @final;
for ($loop=0; $loop<=$length-1; $loop++) {
$output[$loop] = join (":", @{$final[$loop]});

$going = join("\n",@output);
print $going;
or, you could shorten this to:
@final = ([1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]);
print join("\n",map{join(':',@$_)}@final);
hope it helps

So, your answer can be found in perlfaq5. If you don't know how to
access the faqs and other documentation included with perl, try these
on the system where perl is installed:
perldoc perldoc
perldoc perl
perldoc perlfaq5

Hmm, I might do it like this, assuming the address is in $address:
@lines = split /\n/, $address;
$name = shift @lines;
while (@lines) {
$line = shift @lines;
if ($line =~ /^\s*([^,]+),\s*([A-Z]+)\s*([\d-]+)\s*$/) {
($city, $state, $zip) = ($1, $2, $3);
last;
}
push @addr, $line;
}
$country = shift @lines;
Note the regex makes some rather strict assumptions about the format of
the city/state/zip-code line.

How about connecting to port 25 and sending everything at once:
MAIL FROM: <>
RCPT TO: <>

<>

You could also make 10 connections in parallel and deliver 200 to

Actually, this exact issue just came up on comp.lang.perl.misc, and I
gave an answer that sounds like it would be relevant to your situation,
under the article subject "Bulk E-mailing". The short answer is, yeah,
it's probably a bad idea. Your server will grind to a halt in short
order with a few thousand sendmail processes running.
The solution employed in the script I use (a portion of which I posted
in the other thread) was to have the script sending the emails check
the load on the machine and twiddle its thumbs for a while when the
load exceeded a certain limit.

The response of both Bruce Perens and Russ Nelson was that per-usage fees
are not specifically ruled out in the OSD but that no license that had
such a provision would be granted the certification mark, and that the OSD
is a set of guidelines rather than a strict legal document.
Which makes sense to me.

: I have written a very very short tutorial about modules. It has two
: parts. Each part has one extremely simple sample module file, an
: extremely simple sample program that uses it, and seven exercises.
: That is all.
I think any short module intro should start off with the short
module creator, h2xs. A little bit of pod would be a good "example" to
follow, also.

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.

]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
