about use LWP::Simple

meng has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I will try to write a small program which
1) get a webpage from a url
2) check some patterns or do sth.
3) display the result to user via browser.

However, I had problems dealing with the display of feedback. So I tested this small code:

#--------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/perl -w 
use CGI;
use LWP::Simple;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
my $webpage = get($url);
print $webpage;

print<<_HTMLEND;
    <HTML>
    <BODY>
        <H1> hello </H1>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
_HTMLEND
#-----------------------------------------
[download]

It does work if I run it in the console using "perl test.pl", but it is not working as a cgi program, basically I cannot display anything in the browser, even it is just a "hello" here.
Anything wrong? or my idea is wrong
Can anyone help me? Thank you<
