Yep.  It's for 'Non Parsed Headers'

Although, now that I think about it, I think you're also required to
return a status code if your script's to be nph, so you'd have to
instead print:

	$ENV{'SERVER_PROTOCOL'} 200 OK
	Server: $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'}
	Content-type: text/plain

(and of course, an extra newline to end the headers.)
