For displaying a specific type of barcode I've used a font found at
idautomation.com  The script that I used follows, although I noticed that
Randall answered your question as well and I'm sure his column goes into
much better detail then what I have.  Basically this uses a font that must
be on the machine displaying the script.

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
#barcode.cgi

use CGI qw(param);
use strict;

my($query) = new CGI;
my($code) = param("code");

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

print <<EndHTML;

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Tracking System</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" vlink="#0000FF">
<font face="IDAutomation.com Code39" size=48>*$code*</font>
</body>
</html>

EndHTML
;
