Question

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use CGI qw(:standard);
print header;
print start_html(-title=>"Hello World", 
-bgcolor=>"#cccccc", -text=>"#999999",
-background=>"healo.jpg");

The color displays, but not the image.
I have the healo.jpg located in the bin folder and my home folder.
I took this code from http://www.cgi101.com/book/ch1/text.html
Please help.

Answer 1

If your CGI script is in a standard cgi-bin, the file healo.jpg cannot be stored there because it is not a CGI script. Try putting it somewhere else.

For example, you could put the image file in your wwwroot, so that you can find it at http://csvlife.com/healo.jpg (there’s already something there), and then change that part of the code to -background=>"/healo.jpg".
