Your program is perfectly fine. When run from the command line it will
print those intended 3 lines and then terminate without any error
message.
That means your problem lies in a different area, in your case probably
in a misunderstanding of the CGI protocol.

I was just trying to figure out how perl and the web server works..
I have already developed a perl file to manage a web form (send the
forms field to an email address)... and the file seems to be ok..

but when I run it on the server it gives me the same error...
so I was wondering what was wrong and how can I debug the issue....

any suggestion to find out the problem??

As I mentioned before, you DO NOT have an issue with Perl. Had you
written your program in C or Pascal or Basic or Fortran you would still
get the same error message.
Your issue is with the Common Gateway Interface. Therefore asking in a
NG that deals with CGI will probably address your problem more
accurately. Did you read the FAQ I pointed out? It contains several
pointers to more information.
