I am writing a random image generator and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I run the file and it obviously outputs the picture to command prompt but when I try and access the file from <IMG SRC> it will not display the picture. I am quite new at perl itself so please bare with me.
Here is the script:
#! /usr/bin/perl $urldir = "http://jason.yellowsnow.net/images/"; $dir = "."; opendir(DIR,$dir) || die "Unable to open $urldir: $!"; @files = grep { /\.(?:jpg)$/i } readdir DIR; srand (time ^ $$); $file = rand(@files); open(IMG,$files[$file]) or die "Unable to open $files[$file]: $!"; print "Content-type: image/jpg\n\n"; { print <IMG>; } close IMG; closedir DIR;
Thanks in advance for your guys' help.
