I'm working on a CGi page were I print out data from a txt file. The page must print out all the data an even an image associated with file. The scalar $name must produce an image instead of text. I have placed images in the cgi-bin with names that correlate with the variable data $name. When the page is displayed all the information shows but the image is broken. I view the source in the browser and it shows the image to be there but the image is not showing. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thank You, Randy Here is my code from the txt file:
BHW1234|Drill|Black and Decker cordless drill with soft case|$79.97 BHW222|Hammer|Stanley 16-Ounce AntiVibe curved claw steel hammer|$22.4 +9 BHW2054|Handsaw|Dewalt 15 in. Hand Saw with blade armor features Tough +Coat|$18.97 BHW7048|Level|True Blue Empire level.

Here is my code from the cgi file:
#!c:\Dwimperl\perl\bin\perl.exe use CGI qw(:standard); use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use strict; use warnings; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html><body>"; print "<div align='center'>"; print "<h2>Bob's Hardware Tools</h2>"; print "<h3>Current Hardware</h2>"; open (HARDWARE, "inventory.txt") or die "Error opening file, $!"; print "<table border='2' cellpadding='5'>"; while(my $hardware = <HARDWARE>){ (my $sku,my $name,my $desc,my $price) = split/\|/,$hardware; print "<tr>"; print "<td><img src='$name.jpg' width='200' height='150' /></td>" +; print "<td>$sku</td>"; print "<td>$desc</td>"; print "<td>$price</td>"; } close HARDWARE; print "</table></div>"; print "</body></html>";
