in reply to perl/cgi and x11

This is not really perl question. Maybe you can find the answer here http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/faq.html Check the section "Is it possible to work in batch mode without a physical display?". Probably, you'll find this http://fixunix.com/xwindows/91428-xvfb-dummys.html also helpful.

    Thanks so much. Somehow I overlooked Xvfb in my searches for a solution. It was exactly what I needed. I am now able to run ds9 without a display with the virtual frame buffer. Appreciate the help.
