Graphics and mod_perl

[Justin Luster]

I’m new to mod_perl and I’m really enjoying it.  It has really improved performance.  Right now I’m just using Modperl::Registry to speed up things.  I have a question about showing graphics using a Perl Script and running it through mod_perl.    Using Perl under regular CGI to create a dynamic web page I have always used:   print “<img src="\”thefile.jpg\”>”;   and this would display the graphic to the web page assuming that the file “thefile.jpg”  was in the same directory as the Perl script .  If the graphic was in another directory then something like:   print “<img src="\”../graphics/thefile.jpg\”>”;   was used.  Now that I’m using mod_perl and an Alias to my cgi-bin I’m having difficulties knowing how to reference the graphics file.  The following directive is in my httpd.conf file.   Alias /ssiweb/ "C:/Server/htdocs/develop/cgi-bin/" <Location /ssiweb>   SetHandler perl-script   PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry   Options +ExecCGI   PerlOptions +ParseHeaders </Location>   It seems that the current working directory for the Perl scripts when run under mod_perl is in the bin directory where Apache.exe is.  I have considered using absolute paths but even that does not seem to work correctly with graphics.  I could also do something like:   print “<img src="\”http://www.mysite.com/graphics/thefile.jpg\”>”;   but it seems that there is a delay in displaying the graphic when I do this.   Where is the current working directory when running a Perl script under mod_perl.    I would appreciate any help.   Thanks.
