Since I've already had a couple of requests for it, the source code for my 
image cycler script is now available at 
http://digilib.cwru.edu/js/DKH2/ImageCycle.js

If your browser doesn't just download the file you can get the same content 
in plain text format at http://digilib.cwru.edu/js/DKH2/ImageCycle.txt

This implementation was done using Javascript because my knowledge of Perl 
was extremely limited at the time and our server does not provide 
server-side execution for anything except SafePerl. Hence, no PHP, no shell 
scripting, etc...

As noted by Roy Tennant, This thing provides no added functionality to your 
page and - except for the cycling - the random selection could be done 
server-side in Perl. At the time our page was developed we were under a 
directive to make the page visually dynamic but not at the expense of 
cross-browser / cross-platform compatibility. Yes, more could be 
done.  Yes, more will be done.
