The content type is not getting rigth to the browser !

If you are using a funny extension for your files you need the apache  
AddType directive.

AddType text/html .myextension

Maybe you are just forgeting to send the http Content-Type: text/html as your 
first instruction. There are many ways to do it:

print "Content-Type:text/html\n\n";

or 

use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header;

or the mod_perl way....

In any case, you miss to Put a mod_perl directive "PerlSendHeader on" (to fix 
malformer headers) in your directory configuration.
