After introducing Header information also i am getting the same error..

[Tue Apr 29 14:52:59 2014] [error] [client 10.142.236.15] malformed he
+ader from script. Bad header=\xff\xd8\xff\xe1\xa7\xdcExif: image1

What webserver? Try

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use File::Copy;
use CGI qw( header );
my $file = "/var/www/cgi-bin/PTF//WP_20140410_19_01_49_Pro.jpg";
print header( -type => q{image/jpeg} , -nph => 1, -Content_length => -
+s $file );
copy $file, \*STDOUT;

FWIW, its looking more and more like your webserver configuration is the problem

Current code is as below, but still the same error.

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use File::Copy;
use CGI qw( header );
my $file = "/var/www/cgi-bin/PTF//WP_20140410_19_01_49_Pro.jpg";
print header( -type => q{image/jpeg} , -nph => 1, -Content_length => -
+s $file );
copy $file, \*STDOUT;

I tried both in firefox and IE. in the both browsers i am getting the below error..
