Binary dump in browser

[Bike Rider]

Hey folks!
I am having a problem with a perl script that is printing binary into
the browser... Credit being due where credit is being due first...
<PLUG ALT="suckup">
I bought Martien Verbuggen's book "Graphics Programming with Perl" and
it is GREAT! I know Martien is in here from time to time and first off
MANY thanks for a great piece of work (Buy it now!)
</PLUG>

Here's the code in question....

$im = Image::Magick->new();
$im->Read($uploadedfile);
binmode STDOUT;
print $cgi->header('image/jpeg');
$im->Write('jpg:-');

Instead of actualy showing the image it does a binary dump in the
browser.

I have NO experience in pushing out binary this way and thought I'd
see if anyone has seen this before. Yes yes I know it is probably
something extraordinarily simple but I have RTFM'd and RTFGSR (Read
The ..ahem Fine Google Search Results) extensively and no luck.

Many thanks in advance!
Julian

You should probably print the header _before_ switching STDOUT to
binmode.
