[Wolves] delicious link logger

I suspect that this is very good advice Aq, however, you're forgetting that
I make buildings for a living, not code.

There's a link on the de.licio.us site to a perl script that, when cron'ed,
will extract your links and deliver a file into your blosxom folder as an
entry. It's exactly what I'm after, but predictably, I can't get it to work.

My error log says:

 [error] [client 82.37.7.151] Premature end of script headers:
/home/rytdsjzi/public_html/rob/deli.cgi

Perhaps some of you l33t chaps out there could help me find out why. The
perl looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
##
## A blosxom-centric del.icio.us parser that
## creates blosxom entries of your daily
## del.icio.us links.
##
## Best if cron-ed to run daily.
##
## Make sure you check out the link output area near
## the bottom of the script for formatting options
## and info. on how to access other tags.
