I have been spending a lot of time learning Perl. I have used it to write numerour webservices that I can use with PowerBASIC apps I distribute. So this question is probably simple. Most of my results from the Perl scripts have been text, that can be viewed in a browser. I've also generated to html formatted tables. (still text)
So tell me, How can I control the browser to trigger the "download event"?
Would it be the Content : tag?
Also, what if I wanted to display the image in the browser? Would I have to write the image on the server first and use and HTML reference? or simply send the binary image to the browser for display?
I'm trying to get an feel for how to control output from Perl/Server side to the client browser.
(This probably should be in the Programming the Internet forum.)
Tye
