here's what the apache FAQ has to say about this message:

    http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#premature-script-headers

    "What does it mean when my CGIs fail with "Premature
    end of script headers"? 

    "It means just what it says: the server was expecting a complete
    set of HTTP headers (one or more followed by a blank line), and
    didn't get them."

so adding an extra print statement might help.  if it doesn't,
ignore me ;-)
