Bug#444048: apache2: CGI scripts entirely broken

[Nick Price <nprice@q-cat.com>]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.6-1
Severity: important


I have a perl script that is simply 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

When run from the commandline it executes perfectly, 
when run through apache2's CGI handler it gives a 500 
through a browser, and the following message in the 
error log:
Premature end of script headers: test.pl
