perl cgi scripts fail with "500 bad header".

using Freebsd 2.0.5.

Web server run both as root and nobody and no differences seen.

NCSA httpd 1.4.2  built as make netbsd.

I built NCSA httpd 1.3 and the problem occurs here as well.

csh and sh scripts work fine.

the perl scripts execute just fine from a shell prompt.

2.0.5 came with a /usr/bin/perl.  

I built 4.036 and installed it in /usr/local/{bin,lib,).  Problem still occurs.

What's wrong?

thanks in advance,

brad
