GD::Convert Module GD::Convert is a pure perl module which provides additional output functions for the GD module: ppm and xpm. These formats are useful if you need to dynamically create photos for Tk. Perl/Tk lesser than version 804 does not accept any of GD's output formats: png only via the additional Tk::PNG module and jpeg only via the additional Tk::JPEG module. So if you cannot compile on your system, this module is for you. This module also provides gif generating methods through external programs (ImageMagick or netpbm). To install, type $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ make install For Windows NT and ActiveState Perl, replace "make" with "nmake". Otherwise, just copy Convert.pm to C:\Perl\site\lib\GD (create this directory if not existing). Some tests are interactive if Tk is installed and the environment variable PERL_TEST_INTERACTIVE is set. Send bug reports, comments and suggestions to slaven@rezic.de
