Nop.. I still get an "internal server error".. The description of the error
appears before de "content-type" line. And the stuff that is supposed to
get to the browser is not very descriptive either.. "Execution of
./script.pl aborted due to compilation errors."
The correct error message would be 

Can't modify constant item in postincrement at ./script.pl line 4, near "i++"

(I forgot the $ before the i). That would be descriptive, that's what I
want to get on the borwser..

I know.. but if the script doesn't run, you get "[an error occurred while
processing this directive]", wich is not very descriptive either..

Thanks.. bye..
