I've been messing around with this for ages now without finding a solution - I am taking a set of images from the internet and printing a thumbnail to my server. However when I run the script only a haphazard subset of the full set is written to file - I have to run the script a few times to get all the images

Could anyone test this to see if it an error in the code or otherwise what might be going wrong? Thanks.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Image::Magick;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 

my @names = qw(

);

my $count;
foreach my $item (@names) {
  $count++;
  my $photo = '../photo' . $count . '.jpg';
  my $image = Image::Magick->new(magick=>'JPEG');
  my $x = $image->Read($item);

$x = $image->Scale(width=>'50', height=> '50');

$x = $image->Write($photo);

print qq~<img src="http://www.mysite.com/$photo"><br>~;
}
exit();

Additional note: All of the lines are printed, 1 to 8, but some of the 'Write' are ignored, as mentioned previously, in haphazard manner.
