Re: write html code with perl

Consider a template-based approach, so that you can easily change your layout later. For example, using HTML::Template, see the following:

use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Template;
use File::Basename qw(fileparse);

my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new(filehandle => *DATA);

my @images = ();
foreach(glob 'images/*.png') {
    push @images, +{
        file => $_,
        name => basename($_) #you will probably want to get your name 
+from a more interesting source; see below
    };
}

$tmpl->param(images => \@images);

print $tmpl->output();

__DATA__
<html>
<head>
    <title>images</title>
</head>
<body>

<ul>
    <TMPL_LOOP NAME=images>
        <li><a href="<TMPL_VAR NAME=file>" target="_blank"><TMPL_VAR N
+AME=name ESCAPE=HTML></a></li>
    </TMPL_LOOP>
</ul>

</body>
</html>
