This is a relatively simple Perl program that can be used as a CGI to manage a gallery of images and display them at random (or not so random). There is an example to the right. Reload the page, and you will get a different image over there (there are only 10 images in the gallery, so repeats are possible).
Requirements
- Perl 5.6.x.
Installation
Just place the random_gallery.cgi and
random_gallery.conf in a directory with image files,
and put the image files that you want included in the gallery into
random_gallery.conf. The instructions for how to do
so are in the random_gallery.conf file. If you want
to, you can also rename random_gallery.cgi to
index.cgi, and it should work just fine. The documentation
for random_gallery is within the POD of the random_gallery.cgi
file. You can read its POD with 'perldoc random_gallery.cgi'
from your command line.
Contributing
Patches, and suggestions are always welcome.
