Re^2: Using CGI to display images

that was very helpful I have been playing with the path and I am still struggling. I have gone from not found to "exec format error". My error log has the following. The new code is below also.


[Thu Jul 28 13:59:07 2011] [error] (8)Exec format error: exec of '/usr
+/lib/cgi-bin/images/Untitled-1.jpg' failed
[Thu Jul 28 13:59:07 2011] [error] [client ::1] Premature end of scrip
+t headers: Untitled-1.jpg, referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/hellopm.
+pl

my code is below.

print     $q->header,                    # create the HTTP header
          $q->start_html('hello world'), # start the HTML
    $q->img({-src => 'images/Untitled-1.jpg',  
   -alt => 'Powered by Perl'}),
          $q->h1('hello world3');         # level 1 header

You look like you may have the wrong content type. Try `binmode STDOUT; # a good idea print $q->header(-type => "image/jpeg" );` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply] [d/l]
