Oh wise ones ....

I have a

use Image::Magick;

question concerning creating thumbnails on the fly. I'm able to produce an on-the-fly thumbnails (snippet below), and an essential part of the code is using the proper Content-type line.

print "Content-type: image/gif\n\n";
binmode STDOUT;
$thumb->Write('gif:-');
[download]

The above works fine, but my question/problem has to do with how to structure a script so it will produce *both* html content and thumbnails images in one output session.

If I use

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
<code>

the html displays fine, but the images appear as binary code. If I use
+ the 
<code>
print "Content-type: image/gif\n\n";
[download]

The html will not display.

I've cobbled a work around by creating temporary thumbnail images, and pointing to them in the html code, but would really like to know if there is a way to do what I describe above using on-the-fly images.

All suggestions appreciated
