So, why don't you try to find them? Or is it more convenient (to you)
to make people post the same answers again?

Ofcourse it is :)
And thanks!

....or it could be that some people (like me) didn't know there was a way to
find old news messages. It's your pick.

your <img> tag has a src="http://yourscript"

yourscript uses DBI to read the BLOB,
does binmode STDOUT if server is windows,
prints a Content-Type: image/whatever HTTP header before the content,
and then barfs out the BLOB to STDOUT.

Does binmode(STDOUT) if the server is Red Hat Linux with localization
set to UTF-8.

Best to always use binmode() when dealing with binary data, even on
Unix/Linux/POSIX.
