Start by telling us what happens ;) ...before you do that though, add some error checking.

open( ... ) or die $!;

This code is a part of script "Pictures of the day".

open(PIC,"4/01") or die...(etc); open w/o errors

If there is file.txt instead the picture, it will work properly. But i need to open pic. ;)

Try this;

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl 
#gif.pl  
    use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 
    print "Content-Type: image/gif\n\n";  

    open(FILE,"22.gif") || die "Cant open. Reason: $!"; 
      print <FILE>;  
    close(FILE);

I have a feeling it has something to do with the slashes in your variable. Remember, its a file name, but Perl will treat forward slashes as 'folders'.

Above your print you'll want:

binmode FILE;
