Howdy monks,

This question stems from me trying to figure out how to properly use Perl’s CGI and GD modules.

Basically I am trying to write a cgi that will us GD to draw a black frame around a given image. I want to image to load from a url. So far from the Perldoc I have constructed this:

#!/opt/bin/perl –w

use GD;
use Image::Size qw(imgsize);
use CGI;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);


my $myImage = get(‘http://www.someurl.net/sample.jpg’);
my ($x, $y) = imgsize(\$myImage);

my $image = GD::Image->newFromJpegData("http://www.someurl.net/sample.
+jpg", 1);
my $black = $image->colorResolve(0,0,0);
$image->rectangle(0,0,$x,$y,$black);

I am now a confused as to how I could print out the $image inside of a CGI rendered webpage like this:

my $cgi = new CGI;

   print $cgi->header,                   
         $cgi->start_html('test page'),
         $cgi->h1('it’s a framed picture!'),
     $cgi->end_html;

Many thanks in advanced for all, advice, observations and clarifications.
