i had the same snag. i *think* what i was missing was that
the very first header that's included with 'perlSendHeaders on'
is "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" line.

check and see if your 'content-type' stuff is in a monospaced
font (courier, as opposed to times or helvetica). if it is,
that is, it looks like it's within <pre></pre> tags, then
it's been sent as plain text, not as html.

to double-check, put <b> or <i> in your output.

if it *is* just plain text, then apache didn't know what to
do with your output, perhaps because there was no "HTTP"
line, and bailed, telling the browser to expect text/plain
instead of what you intended.

maybe. just guessing.
