The "Premature end of script headers" often occurs at the beginning of
script execution before the perl script hsa had a chance to output the
HTTP headers. Thus, the CGI complains that no headres have been output.

You can make a small tweak to the perl scripts in question so that any
errors that occur are trapped and output to your browser.

Manually in an editor, where you see this:

    use CGI;

and a line thereafter:

    use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

Or if you are brave, you can add this line automatically to all scripts
in Koha:


    cd /usr/local/koha
    find . -wholename *cgi-bin/*.pl -exec sed '-i~' \
	-e 's|use CGI|use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use CGI|' {} \;

(The last two lines are one command-line, but I've split it so it is
  more readable in email.)


HTH!

cheers
