Just for asthetic reasons, please remove the \r (*shudder*).

Why on earth would you want to output this? The CGI output goes to the
server (who will supply these header lines), not to the client.

If you really want to supply ALL HTTP headers (then the 'HTTP/1.0 200
OK' is mandatory and you can use the above code unmodified), call your
script 'nph-something.whatever'. The nph- prefix tells apache not to do
anything with the script headers and spit out unmodified whatever you
throw at it.
