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
