    Either you don't send a content-type, or you don't send it as the first output. Does the following code work? 
    #! /usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);

my $cgi = CGI->new();
print $cgi->header(), $cgi->start_html('Testpage');
print $cgi->h1('Testpage');
print $cgi->end_html();

    I also setup perl on win2k3 and iis6 and i too get the cgi header error. i do have the content-type line as my first line after the shebang line. i have read pages and pages of information on the web. all my scripts work in a command line, but not in IE. Any ideas???
