using oracle BLOB from perl?

[Martin Wong]

Dear sir,

I'm an web developer using oracle 8i database and perl as my web programming. We 
develop a GIS application. as long as we can do we just save picture's name to link to 
a GIF format picture. how could we change this way using BLOB in case to increase our 
speed. Please give us a simple sample to show the BLOB data type content into our web 
page using perl. I'm waiting for your reply soon. thank you.
