That is some ugly code. It generates incorrect HTML (it has so many errors, that you should read "HTML for dummies" again), not that my fix will go through a validator...
The code is completly unmaintainable and gives the impression that you have absolutely no idea of what you are doing.
#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w
use strict;
my @imgArray = (
{
file => "./pics/blink.gif",
h => 320,
w => 240,
title => "Blink 128 (1)",
},
{
file => "./pics/sum41.gif",
h => 316,
w => 500,
title => "Sum 41",
},
#and so on
...
);
#dont use srand, unless you want a PREDICTABLE series of numbers every
+ time!
my $num = rand(@imgArray);
my $img = $imgArray[$num];
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<HTML;
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=lightgrey>
Index: $num <br>Image: $$img{file}
