Your CGI creates (or better should create) HTML. How would you expect
this "HTML" to be displayed?
<H1>Salut !</H1>
Bienvenue dans notre magasin d'habillement !
Faites votre choix dans le menu ci-dessous.
If you want to insert a linebreak in HTML you have to use <BR> and if
you want something to be a paragraph you should enclose it in
<P>...</P>.
