Re: deleting a file after loading

Sounds like passing the image directly to the page is the best way to go here. When you got ASCII, were you sending the right Content-Type header?

I was using the Content-type: image/gif header. But the image is being displayed within an HTML page which uses the Content-type: text/HTML header.

When I create the image by accessing a CGI (i.e. <IMG SRC="test.cgi?blah&Blah">, the image comes out fine. But when I access the image using a sub routine (i.e. <IMG SRC="&test"> I get ASCII text.

I prefer to access via a sub routine because I am accessing a database with variables and the image is drawn using the variables. I am having trouble passing all the variables to an external CGI, but it is easy using a sub routine.

I'm sure my Perl ignorance is making this much more difficult than it should be.
