I didn't have Time/Duration.pm installed when I clicked RecentChanges. The perl failed. The CGI outputed the Content-type: text/html and the complete HTML which included the error in side of the paragraph tags. Maybe a newline was sent before that Content-type line. The web browser didn't render the HTML but just showed the source. > I can't reproduce this, I get a properly formatted error page. > If you'd like to send me the page, I can try to figure out what > happened. --[[Joey]] >> The page is fine.

It's perfectly valid, while a lone 0a, just a linefeed, is not valid HTTP. Conclusion, this was your web server; it's not uncommon for hacky little web servers to not use proper CRLF's, and it works _some_ of the time, depending on how strict the browser is.
