The HTML page:

#!perl -w
$| = 1;

use strict;
use CGI;

my $CGI = CGI->new();

print $CGI->header('text/html'), <<'END_HTML';
<html>

    <head>
        <title>Sample Image Page</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <img src="test.cgi" />
    </body>

</html>
END_HTML

The perl script for the image (note that using read() is preferable compared to reading line-by-line when handling binary data such as images, as you may be pushing a lot of data into memory when you don't want to):

#!perl -w
$| = 1;

use strict;
use CGI;

my $CGI = CGI->new();

print $CGI->header('image/gif');

open( my $img, '<', 'packplan.gif' )
    or die("open failed: $!");

binmode($img);
binmode(STDOUT);

while ( read($img, my $buf, 1024) ) {
    print $buf;
}

close($img) or die("close failed: $!");
