Would I be right in asssuming you've already corrected the differing file extensions on the clock script?
The most likely cause of "Premature end of script headers" is file permissions. The script itself is fine (of course). Welcome to CGI and its lousy error reporting. :-)

Oops had to mess up the months coding because of the 60 letter limit.

I got these from the error log

Well, cant offer much assistance without seeing anything... Are you calling the cgi in the same manner as you've called other scripts you're using? Also check the error logs of your host, most cgi problems will appear in there (assuming you have access to them).
Thanks Garin and cjh.
I had a quick look at the poll, nice, results were on the same page though. Which isnt bad just more complicated I would have though. And I'm having problems with more simple scripts it seems.

god I hate Matt, I can't even get the clock to work. I installed and 755 the pl page and put it in the cgi-bin folder, but my index page isnt displaying it. :/

Sorry I won't be able to help with anything Perl related, as I know nothing about it :)
As for the CSS columns, searching for 3 columns in CSS and 4 columns in CSS in Google brought up some examples quickly (some via www.glish.com/css/) and to be honest I thought you'd come across them as soon as you got Google'ing.

Ok...
Perl Poll - http://www.cgi-world.com/pollit.html looks to do everything you want.
3 column css layouts - http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts Plenty to choose from there. However if I remember what you've got already correctly, adding further columns shouldnt be anything more than adding the div and making it float left or right. If its not doing that then I'd suggest your widths are incorrect.
Banner rotation - http://www.getcruising.com/crypt/_banmat.html fairly straight forward and looks like it'll do what you want.

The designs aren't complete yet no, I still don't have a working poll. I thought it would be important to the sites design so I wanted to get it working before I finish anything. The 3+ column thing I wanted in the past, infact I did ask about it but I think it got ignored. So I felt stuck doing everything in 2 column divs all the time. Which was okay but not what I wanted.
You're right it's probably a bad idea to use so many different codes so I think I'll stick with Perl instead of php. I'm not comfortable with using bits of it when I dont want to use it all over my website.
All the things I need to get my site up and running are now listed in this thread. I dont need anything else, no forums, no image galleries, etc. Oh wait I do need to sort out a banner rotation script. Apart from that this is all I need.
So hopefully I can get all this done, then I can worry about drawing the title graphic (instead of using a temporary one) and painting the favicon (actually I did that yesterday). I already have over 400 pages of content just waiting to go up now.
I checked out the two sites you mentioned, but it didn't look very good when I got several errors :S So I think I'll pass.
The news section, the blog, etc that's all sorted. It's just the poll that's caused so much trouble and put me off the design for so long. Which is why I worked on the content instead, building that up and creating so many pages, lessons, articles and reviews.

Machie, some advice if I may...
You clearly have great ambitions for your site and thats no bad thing but I cant help think your current course is going to leave with something unmanageable. You want blogs, news, polls and alsorts of other dynamic elements. The biggest challenge of all that though will be bringing all those elements together especially if you're using separate scripts from different sources/people. I'm beginning to think you'd be better advised just installing a CMS like Joomla or Drupal and devoting your time to learning how to create templates in it. Joomla/Drupal at least have modules for all the features you want.
If you're not keen on that route, then I'd suggest you put your dynamic elements to one side for the moment. Concentrate on getting the design finished, create some templates for all the different section of your site. Post them on here and get some advise on how best to create templates of what you've got which you can easily integrate different dynamic elements into. It could well be the biggest help you can get off these forums in my opinion.
Perhaps I have a false impression of what you've achieved so far. From reading your posts though, it seems like you're trying to achieve everything at once. When really you should finalise the design (and optimize the css etc.) then move onto the rest.

No problem :) Just a shame they don't have a preview option here, it would save me looking like such a plank to begin with :)

There you go, that is your challenge for the day :)
