noob Date::Manip problems

[Neuroplexus]

I believe that I have correctly installed the date manip module, but
when I try to run the following test script from a browser I get "CGI
Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a
complete set of HTTP headers"

#!c:/Perl/bin/Perl.exe
use Date::Manip;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$str = "05/05/05";
$date = &ParseDate($str);

I believe that I have installed the module correctly because I can
print DateManipVersion, but any time I try to use any of the module's
functions I get this error. What am I missing???

Thanks

*Sigh* Did you actually try running the script on the command line?

What am I missing???

Intellectual curiosity.

(code snipped)

Try this

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use Date::Manip;
$ENV{TZ} = 'PST8PST';
my $str = "05/05/05";
my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header,
$q->start_html( &ParseDate($str) ),
$q->end_html;


Hope this helps

Your script is failing (crashing) and dumping out an error message.
This error message is confusing the browser (because browsers expect
HTML, not error messages). Run your CGI script from the command-line to
see what the message is.

Or add this near the top of your script:
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
