Hi Monks,

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to something like the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use GD::Graph::bars;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print "This is a test html page<br>\n";

print "<img src=\"", &draw , "\"><br>\n";

sub draw {

  my @dates = ( "2000", "2001", "2002", "2003", "2004" );
  my @articles = ( 2, 1, 4, 7, 6 );

  my @data;
  @data = ([ @dates ], [ @articles ]);

  my $graph;
  $graph = GD::Graph::bars->new(400,200);
  $graph->set(
      y_label           => "Articles",
      x_label           => "Date",
      bar_spacing       => 3,
      show_values       => 1
  ) or die $graph->error;

  my $gd;
  $gd = $graph->plot(\@data) or die $graph->error;

  return "Content-type: image/png\n\n", $gd->png;

} # end-sub

exit;

I realise its possible to do: 
<img src="blah.cgi">
but i'm specifically trying to print directly to the HTML page...

Cheers,
