premature end of script headers

[Phil Frost]

What that error means is that when your webserver ran the program, the
program did not output a correct set of HTTP headers. A good way to test
is usually to try running the program yourself from a shell. If the
problem then isn't obvious, begin trimming your script until it works,
and then the last thing you changed you know is related to the problem.
This is basic troubleshooting.
