finding version number of a library Nick Wedd 08-10-2007

I know it is normal in this newsgroup to sneer at anyone who asks a
question that they don't already know the answer to. But I'll give it a
shot anyway.

When my code says
use GD;
it works. My guess is that my web host has installed a copy of the GD
module. How can I find its version number?

Is it "normal" for you to introduce yourself by insulting people you've
just met?

Gee, how generous of you.

I'd answer you, but I'm too busy sneering at newbies.

I haven't just met them. I've been watching them for a good while, as
recommended in the advice on posting here.

Pity you didn't take note of the advice pertaining to the trimming of
replies.

Cheers,
