You need to add /cgi-bin to the path:

print <<EOD;
<center><img
src="/cgi-bin/hrabargraph2.gif"></img><
;/center>
...
EOD

or as previously suggested, create the images in their own
dir (eg: /gif or
/images or /whatever):

print <<EOD;
<center><img
src="/gif/hrabargraph2.gif"></img></ce
nter>
...
EOD
