Premature End Of Script Headers and MORE

Hi to all,
Gee, I don't know where to start.
First of all, I Don't know why I get the suexec error in the log listed
below because when I 'apachectl -V' the '-D SUEXEC BIN="/...../suexec'
and that file doesn't exist where this variable points to, I think! that
means apache won't use it. I have read all I can and try everything
without any results.
Second, the old "premature End Of script headers" problem. Im lost on
this. I have searched the i-net for days, tryied a bunch of thing, and
haven't had any change.

OH, one more thing, In the users directory for the public_html directory
is really a link to the public_html directory. Seems to work OK for
displaying webpages.

I have included the test.pl script.

Any help would be appreciated

Stan

Whelp, Sorry for the post, I found my problem. Just in case someone else
had this problem, I originally installed the apache server with RH9 and
then installed an updated version of Apache. Without relizing what I did,
was to break the links to SERVICE HTTPD START|RESTART|STOP. After
investigating furthere, I corrected the script files to point to the proper
Apache.

I found this out after hard deleting the original apache that RH9
installed.

Everything is running fine now and the correct HTTPD and CONFIG file is
running.
