    You need to set the content types in the CGI file. Normally when you print text/HTML you place this in the CGI script:

    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

    This will allow you to print all HTML on the CGI pages without throwing a 500 internal server error.

    The one you need to use will be:

    print "Content-type: image/gif\n\n";

    Once this is placed you can then stream the file by opening it, and printing the contents. Just like you would when reading a regular text file and displaying output.

    Hope this helps.
