Forgive my use of the list if this is a tad OT - but I seem to not be able
to contact Steven directly all of the sudden (my ISP got but on a RBL, I
think, and it will take them another bit to get off - that's why it took so
long, Steven)

Why are you using /image1/pics/ for the thumbnails and /pics/ for the

you still need this (or "use Apache::GD::Thumbnail;" in mod_perl_start.pl)
