You are piping the output of the Perl script (which is a GIF/PNG image) 
into the input of a program called "display". This program is part of 
the ImageMagick toolkit, standard on most Linux installations. Because 
you are using Windows you probably don't have it installed! Try this:

$ perl render_blast1.pl data1.txt > image.gif

Then load 'image.gif' into whatever your favourite image viewer is.
