[cgiwrap-users] cgiwrap did not produce a valid header

[Diana S. <Dia...@cu...>]

Been trying to run a script via a webserver POST
request for days. Keep getting this error in the Netscape
Web Server error log.  After the error is my Perl environment.
Ugly, I know, running on a DEC alpha box (soon to be retired).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
