Hi, I have a small perl script to serve some data. I wanted to add an image. The problem is that it prints characters and not the image. What's wrong?
my $q = CGI->new(); say $q->header() , $q->start_html("Z weather"); say "<center>"; say "<p><strong>Weather measurements</p></strong>"; my $image; my $imageHandle; local $/ = undef; open ($imageHandle , "< $imagefile"); binmode $imageHandle; $image = <$imageHandle>; close ($imageHandle); my $r = CGI->new(); print $r->header(-type=>'image/png') , $image; say "</center>"; say $q->end_html();
Thank you very much, U
