In this particular case, it has nothing to do with image create, but image size detection. Text::Textile will load Image::Size, which will load ImagE::Magick... all just to put width/height into an img tag Textile is creating for a specified image. Sure, Image::Info would be a better choise for Textile, but I just the site up without core dumping apache, or having to rewrite 3 other CPAN modules. -=Chris
