Perl Web Server no picture

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I create a 100% perl web server, and it went fine and work great. But after a while I begun to realize there's no picture on my browser. The web server could not get the picture. I don't know why. Where could it be wrong? I'am using Window, I was building by refering to manay website like POE etc, and I don't understand about forking. Some web page say in window the forking could not be done etc

Maybe you're on an architecture that requires that you `binmode` your output handles, so that return/linefeed line endings don't get mangled for binary data. Just a guess, since I don't see enough in your question to be able to help you otherwise. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

I think he means: if you show us code, we will show you on which filehandle you need to call `binmode`. Most likely it is the filehandle for the file you are opening for reading. The file you want to serve to the world. Actually, such a bug has just been fixed in `POE::Component::Server::HTTPServer`. Check out diff at this link. Is CPAN amazing or what?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There are existing perl web servers, you know. Though Merlyn has a good guess, it's really hard to tell without seeing your code or knowing exactly what error you are getting.	[reply]
