in thread Preventing an image from caching

Thanks for the post, but I am generating the image, saving it to a file, then calling the file with the <IMG...> tag. I can't seem to get the image to go directly to the page because all I get is ASCII text instead of hte binary.

    Call the file with this script. 
    #!/bin/perl

$image = `cat imagenameandpath`;

print "Content-type: image/png\n\n";
print $image;

    It's the simplest way i know.

    BTW- image/png is for png file format, substitute gif, jpeg, for others.
