Searching and replacing HTML can be tricky. For example, what about HTML like this: 

<H1>Hello World</H1>
<IMG 
HEIGHT="20" WIDTH="20"
SRC="me.gif"
ALT="My picture!"
>

However, if you simply want to replace their picture with yours, use a regexp: 
s/SRC="[^"]*"/SRC="$mypicture"/gi;

but you'll also want to remove and/or replace any WIDTH, HEIGHT, and ALT tags as well.

....which get real complicated real quick. Consider using a module to parse the html, or write your own little subroutine to parse each instance of the IMG tag...
