Lori,

Don't know the exact coding in perl, but the concepts should be similar:

In php, you could use "if" and "elseif"statements:

if (img_name == "img_one") {
    echo "img src=\"$graphics_dir/img_one\";
}elseif {
(img_name == "img_two") {
    echo "img src=\"$graphics_dir/img_two\";
    }

I just coded this from the top of my head, but it should work (in php).  The
above is somewhat limited in that if you have a LOT of images possible, then
the coding could get somewhat complex.  In such a case, you could then
create a variable before this function whose value would be the image name
based upon whatever conditions requires the image.  This variable would then
replace the "img_one" above, with the elseif statement not even necessary.

Anyway, maybe someone that is a little more versed in perl can use the same
concept to create the correct code.

Thanks,
