Here's a simple hack, it's setup to work with jpg's but you
could modify it to accept any imagetype
It uses nph-push to push a new jpg every 30 seconds
I know it isn't a fancy module, but it works :-) I have the 2002
swimsuit models going as a test. :-) 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

$| = 1;
my $boundary_string = "\n" . "--End" . "\n";
my $end_of_data = "\n" . "--End--" . "\n";
my $delay_time = 30;  #seconds each is shown  

my $dir = 'images/';  #directory where images are 
my $pattern = '(.jpg)$';  #Filenames ending in .jpg  
opendir DIR, $dir or die "Cannot readdir $dir:$!\n";
my @files = grep /$pattern/,(readdir DIR);
my @image_list= grep { $_ ne "." and $_ ne ".." } @files;
closedir DIR;

my $browser = $ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'};
print<<EOH;
