Re: "premature end of header" script error

Hi,

I am receiving the following error : "Premature end of script headers"
when running my CGI script using a web browser.

Instead if I execute the script manually at the shell, it executes
successfully. Actually, the script needs to fetch a lot of data from
the database.

Whenever a cgi works from the shell but not from the browser, the first thing I'd check is any environment variable your scipt might be affected by.
I couldn't find any related reference for this error description on
the web, though there are a lot of other references.

Any idea?
