Submitting Form creates prompt to "save or run" target script

[Incognitii]

Here's a nasty one, guys.

Have a form that, when submitted, creates a prompt as to whether to save or run the target .cgi script.

Extensions are correct, the browser has Perl, script saved in Linux/unix format with proper line endings, permissions on target .cgi are correct... all the usual causes of abject squirreliness have been checked...

This is part of a HUGE perl/cgi application that has worked for over a decade. Seriously. This is just NOW showing up. Other forms IN THE SAME .pl file work correctly. Method is set to "post," nothing hinky in the form declaration. Path is to the same directory in the form "action='./myscript.cgi'>"

Any ideas?

I'm thinking that your script is returning the wrong 'content type'

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; -or- print $cgi_obj->header();
(including the important "\n\n")

[Incognitii]

Nope.. that's not it. Already checked.

...Other forms IN THE SAME .pl file work correctly. Path is to the same directory in the form "action='./myscript.cgi'>"

Hmmm
Same .pl file -and- ./myscript.cgi. Is it .pl -or- .cgi?
Is your server set up to handle either?

[Incognitii]

Yes, the server has been set up to handle both.

..This is just NOW showing up.

Got me.
So what did you just do? (-or- what did your host just do?)

I would try to make another minimal form that would work and changed it piece by piece to the shape of this malfunctioning one. Like this, you'll either have another form that will work and do what you want or you'll identify the cause more closely, so we'll be able to get further.

Here's the HTML for the page...

Make sure your server is set to execute CGI. This is done in Apache by using some directory block setings for /cgi-bin, I believe.
