The best module that I know of for scaling is Image::Magick. I didn't find the docs very easy to navigate, but it does a very good job.
[Very light documentation] http://search.cpan.org/~jcristy/PerlMagick-6.02/Magick.pm [Additional docs] http://www.imagemagick.org/www/perl.html The code you want would be something like this: use Image::Magick; my $image = Image::Magick->new; $image->Read('logo.jpg'); $image->Crop(geometry=>'100x100"+100"+100'); $image->Write('x.jpg'); Rob -----Original Message----- From: Ingo Weiss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 12:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: image manipulation (scaling) Hi all, I need have my CGI scale images on the server, and I was wondering whether there is a "standard" perl module that can do that (and possibly other image manipulation tasks). I am looking for one that: - is easy to understand and use - is likely to be already installed on the server or so well known that my hosting provider is likely to agree to install it for me. Thanks for any hint!
