Hi Lou,

First, you need a "Graphics Engine" to do this. The "GD" libraries are 
a good place to start. Many web hosts have the GD lib installed as well 
as the perl "GD.PM" to go with it. If they're not there it may take 
some work to get them all installed depending on what platform you're 
using.

I'm sure that integrating your code for graphics manipulation with CGI 
Application will be no problem.
