[Israel.pm] returning XML from CGI

[Shlomo Yona]

Hello,

I have a CGI script that accepts some parameters from a form
and is supposed to return an XML document.

I'm able to return an HTML with the XML document inlined
(after some entity manipulation: mainly transforming < to
&lt; and > to &gt;), but I don't seem to be able to return
an XML document as the HTTP response in a way that is
recognized by the browser as an XML file.

This:

 	print header(-type=>'text/xml', charset=>'UTF-8');
 	print $xml_document

should have done the trick but all the browser shows me is a
blank page. The only way to view the actual document that
was returned is by viewing the page source.

Is there something that I'm missing here?

Thanks.
