[ale] problems running perl scripts thru apache 2.0.52

if it is a cgi, a closer/better test on the command line should be
'./perltest.pl'   which tests the #! line for the correct interpreter
specification and such.

# Load up the carp module (I think that's the one) and have it 
# dump all error to STDERR. Then you can read the error in the 
# apache error log.
# Premature end of script headers is the usual line that says, 
# "the apache environment is different from what you thing and 
# your script just barfed garbage that is not valid html code".
