Question : Perl Script: Server Error 500

I have problem with "pass.pl" perl script. This Perl script is to verify the username and password from a client browser.

1. If the user input an incorect username or password it  will direct the user to the page with reject massege.

2. If you a user input the correct username and password it will direct user to the secured page.

Currently the script "pass.pl" is locate in the /usr/www/cgi-bin directory.

Here is the error message when I tried to submit the form:
--->
Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
   Premature end of script headers: pass.pl
   If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
   Error 500

Answer : Perl Script: Server Error 500

Hi!

Well it dosen't look very good, you either do this which work on all apache I have installed:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

   AllowOverride None
   Order Allow deny
   allow from all


Or you do this:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
Alias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

   AllowOverride None
   options +ExecCGI
   Order Allow deny
   allow from all
