Thank you for the hint, I think I found this advent: http://advent.perldancer.org/2014/6 .

Can I use send_file together with a template ? Let's say I want to render html with an image,

but I want to make the image available only if logged_in_user();

If it doesn't work with the send_file, the only way I see is to create a random,

temporary symlinks in public pointing to the "not public" files which will be valid during

the session and removed after the session is destroyed.

And use these temporary locations to render the protected images the usual way.

Any other ideas ?

Thank you,

Alex

I think the answer is probably "don't put it in the public area".

If it's not for public consumption, I suggest you use send_file in a route
instead.

Because it is assumed that anything in the public area is exactly that, the
files are sent as quickly as possible, without wasting time in hooks etc.

I think there was some info on these changes in the Perl Advent Calendar.
