I recently decided that Apache::Gallery is really nice if you want to sit down and start fiddling with templates, but that I needed to make a "quick-easy" version for myself. The design is to be extremely simple, and is divided into two seperate modules. The first is an on-the-fly thumbnail generator (currently supports only jpeg), which is just a spiced up implementation of Image::GD::Thumbnail. The second is a directory index generator, which displays each file name and a link to the picture, using URIs to the on-the-fly thumbnail generator to show the previews.
Ideas are welcome, but my main questions are: 1) Put it on CPAN? 2) Namespace? Issac
