Dear Monks,
I am new to CGI. I want to write an application which will open PDF file in a browser. I have written following code. 
use strict;
my $image_dir="D:\\my";
display_pdf("in.pdf");
sub display_pdf{
    my $file = shift;
    my $full_path = "$image_dir\\$file";
    my $buffer="";
    print "Content-type: application/pdf\n\n";
    open(FIN,"< $full_path") || print "File Not Found"; 
        binmode FIN;
        $buffer = join '', <FIN>;
    close(FIN);
    print $buffer;
}

I am Not able to open PDF-reader and PDF document when I use this code. I would be glad if someone could provide me some hints/clues to get my job done.

Update: Thanks to all for suggestions. blazer's code is working fine here. I am checking with other suggestions.
