Isn't the .ico format just plain Windows .bmp bitmap format? Anything that can read & write bitmap files can create favicon.ico too, even if the software doesn't say it can do that; a 16x16 bitmap file will work as an icon [on Windows] with the .ico extension, and will be served by the web server with the favicon.ico name. And yes, PerlMagick would be the most apropos suggestion :-) -- Chris Devers
