Your CGI is printing data BEFORE it has correctly setup the HTTP session.
Grabbing IP restrctions<br>Content-type: text/html

You should move your 'print STDOUT "Content-type: text/html\n\n";" Higher
up in the perl script.  So that by the time "Grabbing IP restrctions<br>"
is printed ALL the http headers have been set.
