A couple of points:

ugly hacks aside, you can't just dump image data inside HTML, even if you do it from a script. You should use img (or object) tags.
There is no link in your HTML so I don't know what link you're talking about.
If you want to show a remote image, what's wrong with <img src="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT06/refresh/AL0606W5+gif/144631W_sm.gif"> ?
Please read writeup formatting tips - or at least use <code> tags around your code.

If you really really want to, use something like this: (in your html): <img src="/path/to/script.cgi"> and (in your script.cgi):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
print "Content-type: image/gif\n\n";
binmode STDOUT;
getprint "http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT06/refresh/AL0606W5
++gif/144631W_sm.gif";

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
