Here is my output from the web browser:
#!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print
"TEST";

Also, once you modify your Web server, the shebang line should be on a
line by itself.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI; print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print "TEST";

The OP was giving what his browser was outputting, not the actual
contents of the script. Obviously, his browser (I'm guessing IE) was
interpreting the results as HTML, and therefore displaying it
whitespace-agnostic.
