I tried exactly as fsn said. I also added BINMODE before the FILEHANDLE as BUU said. But it still does not work.
Following is html file contents (mycounter.html)
<HTML>
<head>
<title> Test page </title>
</head>
<BODY>
<H> My test page</H>
My counter below: <BR>
<IMG SRC = "mycounter.cgi">
</BODY>
</HTML>
and Following is the contents of the perl cgi file (mycounter.cgi)
#!C:\Progra~1\Perl\bin\perl
use CGI;
$co=new CGI;
$size = stat("counter.jpg")[7];
open (FILEHANDLE,"<counter.jpg");
binmode FILEHANDLE;
read FILEHANDLE,$imagedata,$size;
close FILEHANDLE;
print
$co->header(-type=>'image/jpeg'),
$imagedata;
But the only thing I get when I open mycounter.html is the following string
"My test page. My counter below:" followed by a blank image file.
I have checked and the image file counter.jpg exists in the current directory.
But why does the html display a blank image?
If you could identify any other possible reasons for this it would be really appreciated.
thanks

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
