If you are really seeing the above in the log file, it would
indicate that
   1) You may have an error in the DECLARE statement causing it
      to fail.
   2) Most importantly, it looks like you are generating non http
      output (i.e. the "Connection to database 'xyz' OK).
      A typical header might read
          Content-type: text/html<CR>
          <Cr>
          <HTML> - and rest of html.

As a test, I would start by try running a simple script from
a command line and verifying that the output has the proper
HTTP header on it followed by HTML.

Below is an example of a script that displays the environment
passed to the CGI task on a browser screen (I usually call
this thing "env.sh". Start from something simple like this
and work your way up.

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo ""
echo "<HTML>"
echo "<BODY>"
echo "<PRE>"
env
echo "</PRE>"
echo "</BODY>"
echo "</HTML>"
