Ovid,

I tried the code that you posted a while ago. I used it on a Win2k server and never had any problem. I switched onto Unix iPlanet and the code does not work anymore. The last line :

print header(-type => 'image/gif', -Content_length => length $file), $file;

causes the script to hang and never return... I am not too familiar with iPlanet ... can it be a problem with the web server ?

Do you have any idea why ? 

...
use CGI qw(header path_info);
my $file = getNoImage($SHOP);
print header(-type => 'image/gif', -Content_length => length $file), $
+file;



sub getNoImage 
{
     my $SHOP = shift || croak ("ProcessAction : Missing Shop data");
    my ($chunk, $image);

    open IMAGEFILE, "$SHOP->{-TEMPLATE_PATH}/img/NoImage.gif" or die "
+Cannot open $SHOP->{-TEMPLATE_PATH}/img/NoImage.gif: $!\n";
    binmode IMAGEFILE;
    while (read(IMAGEFILE, $chunk, 1024)) 
    {
        $image .= $chunk; 
    }
    close IMAGEFILE;
    
    return $image;
}
