Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your
request.
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: contact.cgi
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this.

It's broken. :)
Dollars to donuts your script is generating output before it generates the
actual HTTP headers. And I'd bet that the error_log for the server says
exactly what it's generating, as well.
Short of telling you that, you don't give enough information to go into
further detail. If you'd like further assistance, please contact me via
email. My rate is $75/hr, 1hr mininum.

| Vorxion,
If you have shell access to the server, try running syntax checking on the
script (perl -c scriptname.pl) if you are comfortable doing so.

Erm...I'm not the one with the problem. I was answering. :)
However, Jim should take note of your response.

| Hi:
Run the script on the computer you do the programming on (I assume you have
Perl loaded there). Perl will tell you if you have errors in the code. If no
errors then you did something like trying to display some text on a HTML
page before you did a setup of the HTML page.
