A note on ImageMagick, I've had problems getting it to work properly with Win32::GUI. There appears to be a namespace problem, but I haven't really looked into it much. I am currently working on a project that I may need ImageMagick, so if I find anything out about the problem, I'll post it here (I'll also check if it supports animated GIFs)

It's many years since I played with ImageMagick, but it may do what you need. Find info about the Perl wrapper at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php I can see version 6.2.8 of Image::Magick in ActiveState's ppm repository. I can't immediately see anything that says it reads animated GIFs, but would be surprised if it doesn't. Rob. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
