This has very little to do with Perl and is all about HTML and how your browser displays local resources.

Are you sure that your browser will interpret this address as an address that is supposed to be loaded from a file?

Personally, I would either add an address relative to the HTML file, like (assuming that the HTML file lives in /net/home2/ceb/bmcclint):

<IMG SRC="./data/brendan.jpg" WIDTH=850 HEIGHT=1000>
[download]

Alternatively, find out how your browser interprets file:// URIs, and give it the appropriate file:// URI. Maybe it is

<IMG SRC="file://net/home2/ceb/bmcclint/data/brendan.jpg" WIDTH=850 HE
+IGHT=1000>
[download]

But again, none of this has anything to do with Perl, so most likely you will find better help in the documentation (or internet searches) for your browser.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
