Using the script in MPPE around p. 207 (1.Drawing.3.pl on the CD-ROM),
change lines 39-40 to:

  my($p, $r);
#  $p = GetPicture(128);
  {
    local $/;  # slurp mode /
    open(PICT, "Bourque:Picture 1") or die $!;
    $p = PicHandle->new(substr(<PICT>, 512));
  }

This will use the PICT in the path in lieu of resource ID 128.

There are probably other ways you can use with read() or something, but I
like this one.
