Ok, it is something with my unix environment because I just pointed my code to the same gif on my windows box and up it comes! All code is fine, which I suspected because I have tried so many variations of it something had to work. Not sure what it could be but maybe I actually don't know where my image directory is. Even though I am giving it a fully qualified path, there must be a default image directory somewhere? Not sure.

Not recommended because it bypasses the security built into tomcat. Here is a sample code with the img tag inserted: #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w # ######################################################################## #### # # script: ot_main.pl - main entry page into ICC outage tracker tool # # purpose: a cgi script that calls pages that insert, display and update # outage tracker records for ICC # # links: ot_entry_form.pl - page to enter outage records # ot_view_all.pl - page to view all outage records in database # ######################################################################## #### # use warnings; use CGI qw/:standard/; use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser ); $|=1 ; $q = new CGI; print $q->header("text/html"), $q->start_html("ICC Outage Tracker CGI Tool "); print $q->h1=>("ICC Outage Tracker CGI Tool "), $q->h2, $q->hr, $q->img({-src=>'icc-logo.gif'}), $q->p, end_html; print "<a href=\"ot_entry_form.pl\">"; print "Enter a New Outage Incident"; print p; print "<a href=\"ot_view_all.pl\">"; print "View Recorded Outage Incidents"; print p; What this does is draw the box where the image should be. When I right click on it and look at the properties and it finds the right file. Just thought someone else would have ran into this ....

Tomcat and perl cgi! cool - didn't know it worked... Are you sure you are not using Apache with mod_jk, or mod_proxy? As for the perl..... Where is the page that prints the HTML? why don't you just add print '<img src="'.$IMAGE_DIRECTORY.$image.'">'; Very confused.... Or could it be that you are using the wrong document root? does http://myservername/images/icc-logo.gif deliver the correct image?
