in reply to I need help with my first CGI

Tip #1 from the Basic debugging checklist: diagnostics

If you're getting this error from a here-document, you may have included unseen whitespace before or after your closing tag or there may not be a linebreak after it.

Remove the space before the ending HTML: 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
 print <<HTML;
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>A Simple Perl CGI</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <h1>A Simple Perl CGI</h1>
 <p>Hello World</p>
 </body>
HTML
 exit;

    Oh, that was the problem. Thanks a lot. Although I should have paid more attention instead of immediately posting a question here :/ The worst thing is, I already knew the line would be taken literally (whitespace included) but I was too blind to see it.
