server-side redirect thingy?

Hello All,

I want to build a site using the alpha transparency of PNG graphics.
However, we all know that this is only supported by a small percentage of
today's web browsers.

I'm wondering if there's any way to use a script which will detect the
browser and direct it to a PNG or GIF as appropriate.

Of course, I could do this client-side using JavaScript, but that could get
a bit messy across multiple pages and multiple graphics.

I'm wondering if there's a way of doing this server-side, in PERL or
possibly PHP.  Something like:

<img src="graphic.pl">

And the script would return the appropriate image.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim
