in reply to Re^5: Not able to display an image in perl CGI
in thread Not able to display an image in perl CGI

The file system path will most likely not work - the -src path needs to be either relative to the web server root, or specially configured as a directory in the web server config.

One possible option is to do: 

my $file = "/cgi-bin/PTF//WP_20140410_19_01_49_Pro.jpg";

[download]
which assumes that "/var/www" is the server root.

        What is the sound of Perl? Is it not the sound of a wall that people have stopped banging their heads against?

    The above error is from server logs .. /var/log/httpd/error_log.

    Do we have any other logs which can help to resolve this issue
