Scalers within <img src...?

[ScoobyDood]

Please help. When I try to put a scaler within an <img src...> tag it takes out the scaler! Have a look:

#Script

$imageNumber=$cgiobject->param(&quot;number&quot;

print &quot;<img src='

http://www.mysite.com/images/main/$imageNumber_image.gif'>&quot;;

#End Script

When I view the source of my page it looks like this:

<img src='

http://www.mysite.com/images/main/.gif'>

I'd bet that perl is interpreting $imageNumber_image as the name of a variable, not as the value of $imageNumber concatenated with the string &quot;_image&quot;.

Try it as an explicit concatenation:

print &quot;<img src='

http://www.mysite.com/images/main/&quot;.$imageNumber.&quot;_image.gif'>&quot;;

You can also get around this problem by putting braces around the actual variable name.

print &quot;<img src='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mysite.com/images/main/${imageNumber}_image.gif'>&quot;;[/URL]
