After I set up Yapcom, and tried to register the first user, it did not work, 
for some reason. I get an Apache error and the Apache error log only say:

<<<
[Mon Nov 24 20:08:23 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script 
headers: yapc.pl
>>>

Still a record is entered into the database:

<<<
$ sqlite yapc.db
SQLite version 2.8.6
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> SELECT * FROM people ;
1|Shlomi|Fish|shlomif@xxxx.xxx.xx|password|a274AmOKY8VCBe2Mbb3O|0|The 
Technion||||||03-6424668|SHLOMIF|http://t2.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/|Israel|None 
of your business||
sqlite>
>>>

My hunch is that the reason is that sendmail is not installed on my computer. 
Nevertheless Yapcom should report it and not leave a stray record. Is there 
any reason we use Mail::Sendmail instead of Net::SMTP or whatever is the 
Mail:: equivalent?

I'm attaching an LWP script that reproduces the problem.

Regards,
