Your problem is here: print div("<a href = \"?closeup=$section&image=$image\">.

You are using a relative URL of a form that is not strictly standard, supplying only the parameters of the script, without the script name (or the directory, etc). Some browsers fill out the script name automatically, some don't.

I strongly suggest that you use either self_url or url() methods (provided by CGI.pm) to determine the URL of your script and explicitly use them in links.

That way, you will retain the ability to move the script to other machines/directories and have it work automatically, and avoid the browser dependent interpretation of the relative URL RFCs.
