Perl Monks and Guru's, I am in desire need of your wisdom :o).

A few months back, I seen a file that a banner exchange used to "Print" a image, the <img src called a Perl script.

Is there a module that I could use to do the same thing?

Or would I just have it print the url of the image location, like this:
# in the perl script:
print "http://www.mydomain.com/banners/ban1.gif";
exit;
# end of script

[download]

or would I actually print a NEW tag like this:
#in the perl script:
print qq~<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/banners/ban1.gif">~;
exit;
# End of perl script

[download]


I know I don't have to tell it to exit at the end, I just put that there to show that is what the LAST Step would be.
I'd REALLLLLLY appreciate some assistance to point me in the right direction.

Thanks guys AND gals!!!!

Richard
