Something like this?
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my @image_extensions = qw(gif png jpg jpeg);
for (@image_extensions) {
if ($url =~ /\.${_}$/) {
print $q->redirect(-uri=>'http://image.url/here.gif');
exit(0);
}
}
Amend as you see fit if you want to return same file type - but I think most browsers can interpret the mime without needing the correct extension.
You don't want to return html (the img tag) because that's text.
Please learn CGI - it will make your life easier in the long run - honest!
cLive ;-)
ps - remember, you will need to send the redirect before outputting a text/html header to the browser.
Update: pps - sorry, I should have stated - this was a snippet to go in your existing code (hmmm). I've expanded below...

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
