Want a new quote script? This will output a picture of a quote in a quote file with quotes on seperate lines. It will even auto-size itself to the quote. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI::Carp;
use GD;

my $quote = &getquote;

my $img = GD::Image->new(length($quote)*8+30,46);

my $white = $img->colorAllocate(255,255,255);
my $black = $img->colorAllocate(0,0,0);

$img->transparent($white);

$img->string(gdLargeFont,15,15,$quote,$black);
print "Content-type: image/jpeg\n\n";
binmode(STDOUT);
print STDOUT $img->jpeg;

sub getquote {
  open FILE, 'quotes.txt' or die "Can't open quotes.txt: $!\n";
  my @quotes = <FILE>;
  close FILE;
  chomp(@quotes);
  my $quote = $quotes[rand @quotes];
  return $quote;
}

update: made the script much faster by having it output in jpeg format.
