Hi,
i'm using the code below to fill a svg template, and send it to the client. The problem is that the svg is not being diplayed by the client-side browser (IE6) - and when I try it in Netscape, it starts downloading as a file. If I click veiw>>source in IE, the svg source is displayed perfectly (after it has been downloaded - it will say Done even before its actually finished), but normally you right click in the browser window to view the source and the veiw>>source option would be disabled.
This is my first time displaying svg from the server - normally I open my *.svg docs from my PC and the browser handles them fine - Is it the cgi extention thats causing the problems?
Thanks.
Heres the exe 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my @colors =  ( [167,45,37,56,65,67,56,78,231,35,142,20,187,137,19,107
+,117,127,137], # ...
                [221,245,237,0,0,0,0,0,235,235,145,220,218,146,194,46,
+133,127,45,32] # ...
              );

print "Content-type: image/svg+xml\n\n";
open DATA, '<g3.svg' or die $!;

local $" = ',';        # localise $" ($LIST_SEPARATOR) and set it to b
+e a comma

s/^var colors(\d+) = \[\];/var colors$1 = "[@{ $colors[$1 - 1] }]";/

    and print                      # and print it if it matched
    or print                       # otherwise just print them
  while <DATA>;

close DATA or warn $!;
