Re: File Corrupt when download with ModPerl scripts

Michel,

from what you describe below, this sounds very unlikely to be a perl or mod_perl issue.
If I have to make a guess, I would say that what you download via perl/mod_perl is just 
not the same image file as what you think you download.  Maybe it is a thumbnail version 
of the original image ?

For start, add this after "    binmode($in);"

warn "About to return file <$fname>, size : " . -s $fname;

and then have a look at your webserver error log, to see if it is what you expect.
