[hobbit] Hobbit to IPPhone Beta

[Josh Luthman]

I did get XML from that full URL, among other things I learned that  <Prompt
>It's not easy being green :-)</Prompt>
Now I did a helloworld.cgi that looks like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World!\n";

and I get an HTTP 500 error
[Thu Mar 27 19:57:35 2008] [error] [client 172.16.0.153] malformed header
from script. Bad header=Hello World!: hellowworld.cgi
[Thu Mar 27 19:57:35 2008] [warn] /perl/hellowworld.cgi did not send an HTTP
header

So either my helloworld.cgi is wrong or mod_perl is confused, I think.
