Ovid,

I tried the code that you posted a while ago. I used it on a Win2k server and never had any problem. I switched onto Unix iPlanet and the code does not work anymore. The last line :

print header(-type => 'image/gif', -Content_length => length $file), $file;

causes the script to hang and never return... I am not too familiar with iPlanet ... can it be a problem with the web server ?

Do you have any idea why ?

...
use CGI qw(header path_info);
my $file = getNoImage($SHOP);
print header(-type => 'image/gif', -Content_length => length $file), $
+file;



sub getNoImage 
{
     my $SHOP = shift || croak ("ProcessAction : Missing Shop data");
    my ($chunk, $image);

    open IMAGEFILE, "$SHOP->{-TEMPLATE_PATH}/img/NoImage.gif" or die "
+Cannot open $SHOP->{-TEMPLATE_PATH}/img/NoImage.gif: $!\n";
    binmode IMAGEFILE;
    while (read(IMAGEFILE, $chunk, 1024)) 
    {
        $image .= $chunk; 
    }
    close IMAGEFILE;
    
    return $image;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
