Alex,
the answer to this one is probably imagemagick. I have a small photos site
as well and use imagemagick to create all the other sizes from the master
image.
After you have install image magick, the basic syntax is...
use Image::Magick;
$p = new Image::Magick;
$p->Read(..your main image...);
$p->Scale(width=>$required_width, height=> $required_height);
$p->Write(..your scaled image...)
your only trickyish part is keeping the projection right when you scale the
image, however, for a start, the above code can get you going.
With my site I have an upload screen for images. Accepting images in this
screen causes the scaled images to be created - I have a couple of scaled
images for various purposes (web user monitor sizes etc).
best of luck
joel

Subject: Creating thumbnails (Newbie Question)...
Hi,
Very newbie.
I was wondering if it is possible to write a CGI (Perl) program to make a
thumbnail page for my website.
If so, how would I start and use for doing this?
Thanks.
Alex
