I know you mentioned doing it in perl, but have you considered something like this around the image:

[if file __DOCROOT____IMAGE_DIR__/thumb/[item-code]_b.jpg]<a href="[area [item-code]]">
<IMG SRC="thumb/[item-code]_b.jpg" ALT="[item-description]"></a>[else]<IMG SRC="sorry_no_img_b.gif" ALT="Sorry, no image available">
[/else]
[/if]

Good luck!
