I am trying to display an image in my script. The problem is that the script can't find the image. I've tried the following codes:
print "<IMG SRC=$courselocation/images/$value>";
print "<IMG SRC=\"$courselocation/images/$value\">";
print "<IMG SRC=/$courselocation/images/$value>";
print img(-name=>'image', -src=>'$courselocation/images/$value');

and others. (I don't get any error messages or log errors so if I've mistyped anything here its a local error here) I have printed out the variables and they appear to be fine. $courselocation prints as ist001 and $value prints as newlogotr.gif. My root directory is
novonyx/suitspot/docs/perlroot. The courselocation is a subdirectory of this. I derived $courselocation from doing the following:
$courselocation = substr($file, 0, 6); where $file = ist001/quiz1.txt.
$value is read from a text file which looks like this: i1:newlogotr.gif~
I've even hardcoded the location in the script like this:
print "<IMG SRC=novonyx/suitspot/docs/perlroot/ist001/images/newlogotr
+.gif>";
print "<IMG SRC=/novonyx/suitspot/docs/perlroot/ist001/images/newlogot
+r.gif>";
print "<IMG SRC=\"novonyx/suitspot/docs/perlroot/ist001/images/newlogo
+tr.gif\">";

In every case the little square box appears where the image is supposed to be, but no image. I've checked and double checked spelling, syntax, etc. I tried it at home using:
<img src=$value>

where $value = images/newlogotr.gif and it worked fine. At work I'm using perl 5.? but its not 5.6 which is what I'm using at home. I didn't know if 5.6 handled images differently or not. I suspect the problem is with my server. I guess what I'm asking for is any other troubleshooting ideas you might be able to provide. I've run out of ideas.
Many thanks. Chris
