Dear Monks,

I am seeking your wisdom in order to understand what happened to some simple code that was working fine under Active Perl Win2K. I started pulling my hair when I ported the code onto a UNIX server running iPlanet.

See, this code is just reading and displaying a gif file... The top of the image looks fine but the bottom of the image (I would say the last 1/10th of it) is all garbled...

Can YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHY ?!? 
...
use CGI qw(header path_info);

my $file = getNoImage($SHOP);
print header(-Content_type => 'image/gif', -Content_length => length $
+file), $file;
    
...

sub getNoImage 
{
  my $SHOP    = shift || croak ("ProcessAction : Missing  Shop data");
  my ($chunk, $image);
    
  open IMAGEFILE, "$SHOP->{-TEMPLATE_PATH}/img/MyFile.gif" or die "Can
+not open file: $!\n";
  binmode IMAGEFILE;
  while ( read(IMAGEFILE, $chunk, 1024) ) 
  {
    $image .= $chunk; 
  }
  close IMAGEFILE;   
  return $image;
}
