friends , i thought it would be - dead easy - to convert my imagemagik efforts into a perl script. It seems I am very wrong.
Being new to perl and new to imagemagick i suppose i could use " plenty of help" -- but if I could get some Big picture suggestions - that would be great. my 1st efforts results in so many errors -- oh where to begin -- so i read that there is PerlMagic I am currently reading http://www.imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php and http://www.imagemagick.org/script/examples.php excellent examples -- i am going to be working through some of that ( i wish there was a convert example that added text ) Q1 - the install doc talk about XP - can this work on a win2003 server - the same? Q2 - would a better idea be to have a linux server ( Ubuntu or centOS5 ) actually DO the PerlMagic image manipulation ( the making of the pdfs ) meaning - Are the "resources' for learning are more Lnx than win? Q3 - I would love to know ... what is : warn "$x" if "$x"; # print the error message so is "$X" defined defined in the PerlMagic install ? Thanks example -- here is my perl on winXP ( hey - thought you could use a laugh ) #C:\perl\bin\perl use warnings; use strict; convert D:\ss\mich-b.jpg ^ -fill black -pointsize 24 -draw "text 150,460 'File Name : FName7'" ^ -fill black -pointsize 24 -draw "text 150,490 'Title : TName7'" ^ -fill black -pointsize 24 -draw "text 150,520 'Creator : Creater7'" ^ -fill black -pointsize 20 -draw "text 150,550 'Time : hh:mm:ss'" ^ -fill black -pointsize 18 -draw "text 150,580 'Date : mm/dd/yy'" ^ D:\ss\mich-b-7.pdf exit; ----------- and happy holidays!
