Isn't "Your first CGI program" example,
        #!/usr/bin/perl
        print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
        print "Hello, World.";
a bad example, producing invalid HTML? Should he use text/plain?

Stictly speaking it's bad HTML, but it's a good example: it's simple and
to the point. Adding "<doctype...." etc only adds a lot of noise, and it
is documented clearly right above that example to what value you should
set content-type or what you should output. And it works just fine.

I consider this a non-bug.
