I'm using a Perl script to generate html pages. I want to use images in
the html page. The fundamental code I use to display an image is:

print "<p><img src=\"http://www.my-site.com/image.gif\" border=1
width=\"53\" height=\"32\" alt=\"logo\">\n";

The image doesn't display.

I have the same problem importing linked external style sheets and
external javascripts.

Best use CGI.pm Then your code would be... I formatted it so your can
see the parts without the NG wordwrap confusing things

use "CGI";

print p(
img(
{
-href=>'http://www.my-site.com/image.gif',
-border=>1,
-width=>53,
-height=>32,
-alt=>'logo'
}
)
);

if your want it all 'prettified' with CR's and TAB's then

use CGI:retty;

....toward the bottom of the article is a Perl script to display an
image, with a lot of explanation. I suggest you read the whole article
to understand why some of the things were done.

You should be able to use external stylesheets and javascripts. You're
addressing them wrong, most probably. Remember that the address is
relative to the place the script executes, not the base address of your
website.

I understand that. That's why I tried, unsuccessfully, to use an absolute
address.

Thanks. You introduced me to the world of Perl modules. I had no idea...

To sys op:
Yes, post the actual site and image locations. And, assuming the whole
script is in a place we don't have read access, post it too (possibly
minus your de-tainting code, if you don't want to make that public.)

Beats the crap out of all that quote escaping and with the CGI.pm your
are less like to make an HTML (actually XHTML 1.0 Transitional) syntax
error. Can also save you a lot of coding...

my @list=qw(one two three four five six);
print ul(li(\@list));

Just imagine:

print p(\@paragraphs);

Also another tip, lookup functions q(), qq() and qw() that can be your
friends
