500 internal server error

[charlz]

I have a helloworld cgi file and keep getting this (error logs say the same "Premature end of script headers: test.cgi "

NOTE: when I run it from the command line <b>it works</b> ./test.cgi

#!/usr/bin/perl

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

But form browser gives this:

Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: test.cgi

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 500

After reading through the forums I have made sure that all these things:
1. files and folders are 755
2. was loaded in ascii format
3. CGI is turned on in plesk
4. code is sound (as above) no missing semi-colons etc..
5 psa-suexec is up to date.

What else could be the problem? I have tried it with and w/out mod perl being active all with the same result.

thanks!

may sound like a stupid question ( but you did not say so in your post... )

is it in your cgi-bin folder ?
