FormMail.pl Error 500 after migration to virtual server

Hi Managers

I'm taking my decade-old DEC AlphaStation 255 out of service. The
website that was running on it has now been migrated to a slightly
less elderly DS20. As this was already running another website, I
modified the httpd.conf file on the DS20 to virtually host the site
from the 255. That was a couple of weeks ago, and access to both
sites was looking fine. However, now I find that the cgi-bin scripts
from the 255 have not been working since the migration. The cgi-bin
scripts on the DS20 site are still working. Each virtual site has
its own Document Root and its own cgi-bin. The error I get is:

[Thu Aug 11 15:44:53 2005] [warn] [client 130.209.134.70]
mod_include: Options +Includes (or IncludesNoExec) wasn't set,
INCLUDES filter removed
[Thu Aug 11 15:45:54 2005] [error] [client 130.209.134.155] Premature
end of script headers: FormMail.pl, referer:
http://www.vir.gla.ac.uk/local/equipment-form.shtml

 From what I can tell from a general Google search using this error,
this kind of thing is either a permissions problem (I don't think so,
as the permissions are identical on both cgi-bins) or due to a syntax
error in the FormMail.pl (I don't think this is the case, as the
FormMail.pl was simply copied over from where it was running before).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Derek
