Dynamic image refresh

Viewed 32162

How would I go about updating an image that gets updated on a server every couple of seconds with out the user having to hit the refresh button, my first guess was ajax but I haven't really worked with it before. Could someone point me in the right direction?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the image is a .gif generated by a perl script - trying to get it from url returns the script itself.
