in reply to Feeding a bitmap to Internet Explorer

Are you sure forcing a browser window open is a friendly thing to do?

I know it is precisely the feature that causes me to keep javascript turned off...

    For this particular application, it's fine to force a browser window to stay open.

    When the application finishes, it will close the window.

    All I need to do is find out how to do what I asked in the original question! :-)

      So you are saying that this isn't something already running in the browser? Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question.

      If you are just trying to display an image from a non-networked perl program, I would recommend using a widget set, like Tk. In addition to not using a large, bloated beast like IE for a skinny task, it also is more portable.
