Swig and Perl - problem?

[Ethan Alpert]

On a somewhat related note if you're in a CGI and want to return the
image directly as output use Slurp.pm

. . .

print $q->header(-type=>'image/png');

. . .

$img = $map->draw();

$img->save($out);

$myimg = Slurp::to_scalar($out);

print $myimg;


I like this approach better in somecases than returning the path to the
image.

Tyler, you need to learn Perl before attempting to use Perl/MapScript.
Changing the above will work like:

$mapimage = $mapobject->draw();

What were you thinking man?
