Don't parse HTML with regexes

Make sure the image is in fact an image, and not the garbled binary of some cgi wrapper. Open it with the original browser that you viewed it with, if it works you should know what to do. If it doesn't checksum (md5/sha1) a copy you saved from your browser, and then a copy that you retrieved with perl.

My bet is they are off.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • 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.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

            For:     Use:
