when I try displaying this script in a browser, I get this error "Can't cd to : "
However, the script works fine in command line. The subdirectory /var/www/images does exist. I can access it from my browser. The permissions are fine. Does anyone have an idea why this error occurs? Am fairly new to PERL. 
#find.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
use CGI;
use warnings;
use Cwd;
use File::Find::Rule;

my $q = new CGI;
my $imageDir = '/var/www/images/';
my $image;
my @files;
my $files = qr/^\d{6,6}.*\.jpg?$/i;
#my $image = $q->param('image');

@files = File::Find::Rule->file
                               ->name($files)
                              ->in($imageDir);
print $q->header();

     $q->start_html("Images in $imageDir");
foreach my $image (@files){
if( $image){
my $imageFile = $image;
$imageFile =~ s/\/var\/www//;
print <<HTML;
<a href="$imageFile">$imageFile</a><br>
<img src="$imageFile">
HTML
}
else{
print <<HTML;
sorry, $imageFile does not exist
HTML
}
}

print $q->end_html;
