I assume what you're trying to do is have in your html
<img src="image.cgi">
And maybe except paramkaters and display accordingly?
If so all you need to remember is to print the proper headers and don't try to print
and text.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Slurp;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
print header("image/gif");
print read_file("/path/to/img.gif");
Of course you can do all kinds of things like check for
errors modify the images using various image modules display different images based on
inout, etc, etc
