Monks,

I have a perl script that creates a graph and it works, except when I try to embed it in HTML.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use GD::Graph::pie; my @data = (['A','O','S','I'],[3,16,12,47]); my $mygraph = GD::Graph::pie->new(200, 200); my $myimage = $mygraph->plot(\@data)->png; print "Content-type: image/png\n\n"; print <<end_html; <html><head><title>Current Stats</title></head> <body> <p align="center"> end_html print $myimage; print <<end_html; </p> </body> </html> end_html
What happens is I get an output that looks partially like this:
PNG  IHDR(q;PLTEVttRNS@f IDATx[K8 N{| +P /^s{$ keJ")I‹]BHaR"(R~^֎@q<x쬰 +k xT>ѭ}Z_/o9‹ΦVZזGܹ\' -3N5riB +qgzH:pkB:t]YԬkǟ5N4ΓgSہZf`g̯mm/ +ZWiw6RS8mHqZ>+-:"GGq-r@YPy4߳V +b'nH\-8G>#_d"9ϧc @"DQb\HT4@Ԑ4 +UQ.Ŭ oŨ$xcK7UeRW3G*›7֬܈@ZnL }
If I remove the HTML content, it works. I've even tried calling it like this:
<img src=$myimage>
Unfortunately, I get the same response. Any suggestions?
