My first step to complete this week's assignment was to modify the BestPixelTracker class so that when the user pressed the mouse click to select a particular pixel color to track, a jpg image would be created and FTPed to the server. Since I am currently learning perl, I figured that I could create a perl script that would receive the image and print it to a webpage. This seemed to be easier for proof of concept then trying to figure out how to email the image to flickr and have it post directly to the blog. Unfortunately, I ran into some problems getting the image to post to the server. This was the error I received:

IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://itp.nyu.edu/~clc219/cgi-bin/UpLoad.php

Here is the BestPixelTracker modified:
