[Bioperl-l] Bio::Graphics problem

[Lincoln Stein]

Hi Chris,

This is a common problem when Perl scripts try to produce binary output in a 
windows environment.  You have to specify binmode() on the output filehandle.

Try this at the end of the file:

	binmode(STDOUT);
	print $panel->png;

Best,

Lincoln
