Creating Thumbnails daniel kaplan 05-22-2005

Hey all,

My servers are not mine, they're shared. So everytime I need a new module,
I have to go through this whole process. So in the effort of saving my ISP
time, I was hoping I could ask people's thoughts here and get the right
module installed the first time.

I am looking to take image files (just jpeg, gif and png) and create
thumbnails. that's it, nothing crazy. I have found a few on CPAN, but if
there is any type of rating system, I am unaware of how to find it.

So was thinking if I could ask here, can anyone recommend a decent module?

thanks!

Image::Magick and GD are both recommendable.

The first ist a bit more powerful and has the nicer interface IMHO, but
both will be well suited.

you do not need modules, you can simply invoke "convert" utility from
image magick.

man convert

i

i am confused, isn't image magick an additional module that is not installed
on a standard perl setup????

No, it's not. Image Magick is a C library, and a collection of command
line tools that use it. Perl Magick is a module that provides access to
the library functions from Perl.

Why is that a problem?
