Hi

I'm having some problems outputting the results of Image::Magick to a web browser. I can output to a file and it works just fine, but for some reason I get the following error when trying to output to a browser window. My code follows. 

    my $self = shift;

    my $q = $self->query();

    my $image_path = $q->param('image');

    $self->header_props (
        -type =>'image/png', 
    );

    my ($image,$x);

    my $image = Image::Magick->new();

    $x = $image->Read(filename =>"/images/users/$image_path");
    $x = $image->Resize(geometry =>'175x275');

# THIS DOES NOT WORK - WHY?

    binmode STDOUT;
    $x = $image->Write(.png:-');

# THIS WORKS PERFECTLY:

#    $x = $image->Write(filename =>'/images/users/resize/test.png');
