$dir="/home/yehuda/img/jpg/";
chop $dir;

Here you hardcode a string and immedeatly chop off the last char. I cannot make any sense of that.
It does have some minimal amount of sense, if seen in the awkward context of all the rest of the code. Probably the trailing / conveys him the psychological feeling of having to do with a directory, but then later he does $dir/$somethingelse. Not to justify him - just trying to understand...

Incidetally, why did you post your reply to the OP as a reply to my own reply?!?

    Because in your OP, before you updated it, there was something along the lines of "your code does not look so bad".
