in reply to CGI + netscape problems

Without more of the code it is tough to see where the problem might lie. Just looking at your html I see one issue. The image tag and the P tag should be changed so that they are not empty elements. Netscape always has problems with those. Try this;
print STDOUT "<P><div align=\"center\" \/><img src=\"$image\" \/></div +>";
I added a space before the trailing > and added the backslash both in the P tag and the img tag. This lets the browser know not to expect anything else. Don't know if that will help 100% with your question, but it could be part of the issue.
