TMTOWTDI, of course. Here's a way to do it in bash:

#!/bin/bash

cat >index.html <<FIN
<html>
<body bgcolor=white>
<h1>My Pictures</h1>
FIN

for i in *.jpg *.png *.gif ; do
   echo "<a href=$i>$i</a><br>" >>index.html
done

cat >>index.html <<FIN
</body>
</html>
FIN

And here's one way to do it in perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

open(FH, ">index.html") or die $!;

print FH <<FIN;
<html>
<body bgcolor=white>
<h1>My Pictures</h1>
FIN

opendir(DH, '.') or die $!;

while ($_ = readdir DH) {
   if (m/\.jpg/ or m/\.png/ or m/\.gif/) {
      print FH "<a href=$_>$_</a><br>\n";
   }
}

print FH <<FIN;
</body>
</html>
FIN

__END__

Adjust the html to suit your needs.
