You could write a second CGI script that accepts a argument
for the gif to display (say ,
display.cgi). The
first script then simply creates HTML, and any reference to
a dynamic image will look like:
<img src="/path/to/display.cgi?name=foo" alt="foo" />
But if you have a lot of these ... that's a lot of CGI
hits on the server. I would consider 'bulk generating' the
images via a cron job if server performance becomes an
issue (unless they are
very 'on the fly' of
course).
Also, consider using CGI.pm's header method to
simplify printing content headers:
usg CGI qw(header);
print header;
print header('image/gif');
