Hello folks, I am newbie to perl and now be very interested to perl. When I follow with GD sample (from #perldoc GD): 
 #!/usr/local/bin/perl

               use GD;

               # create a new image
               $im = new GD::Image(100,100);

               # allocate some colors
               $white = $im->colorAllocate(255,255,255);
               $black = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,0);
               $red = $im->colorAllocate(255,0,0);
               $blue = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,255);

               # make the background transparent and interlaced
               $im->transparent($white);
               $im->interlaced('true');

               # Put a black frame around the picture
               $im->rectangle(0,0,99,99,$black);

               # Draw a blue oval
               $im->arc(50,50,95,75,0,360,$blue);

               # And fill it with red
               $im->fill(50,50,$red);

               # make sure we are writing to a binary stream
               binmode STDOUT;

               # Convert the image to PNG and print it on standard out
+put
               print $im->gif;

and save it as "color.pl" and then try to run it in command line, while it is mess(binary files is printed). And I know i can open a filehandle to snap the output and then print it in X GUI, while my question is, is there any method to let GD draw in the command line mode? Thanks, Phillip
