You seem to have that part right. Using the CGI module, if I print start_html( -background => "foo.jpg" ); it prints <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US"><head><title>Untitled Document</title> </head><body background="foo.jpg"> I would venture a guess that the image you want to show isn't in the location your script thinks it is. Make sure the file that the value of $WALL refers to actually exists, also check that permissions on that file are OK. : # START HTML DOCUMENT : print header, start_html(-title=>"$TITLE", -background=>"$WALL"), : h2($TITLE), ($HOME); Casey West -- Shooting yourself in the foot with Smalltalk You send the message shoot to gun, with selectors bullet and myFoot.
