If the script runs from the command line, the most probable problem
is the one errored on.
Ensure your script is sending the header.
ie, before you print anything to the output (http connection) 
you should have 

	print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

Unless you are trying to plant a cookie in which case the last \n 
should be left off until after planting the cookie.
