Due to licencing restrictions gif support was removed from GD after version 1.19.
The last version of GD to support gif creation was GD-1.19: http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/GD/old/GD-1.19.tar.gz "Carlos S.

Look at the source to GD.pm: sub GD::gif { croak("GIF support has been disabled for legal reasons. Use PNG or JPEG output"); } Your script should have died with the above error after calling $gd->gif. -- Simon Oliver _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list.
