Yeah, I came across that bit of documentation after sending the message.
I guess that I've just never really been aware of the fact nor have I
seen it mentioned as a potential problem on any of the mailing lists I
read. Now we know!

It would be nice if CGI.pm checked the default settings in Apache's
httpd.conf or auto-detected the format of the outgoing data but those
capabilities are probably asking a bit too much.
