in reply to constant problem with GD's newFromGif

Try my $im = GD::Image->newFromGif( \*F );

Hang on, did you check whether your open succeeded or not? Do this instead:
open F, TMP_GIF_FNAME or die "Can not open image: $!";

    open F, TMP_GIF_FNAME or die "Can not open image: $!";
    You're right, that was the reason (I overlooked it, because the code became too heavy instead of several lines, written several days ago, because I coudn't create image from GIF data, only from file).
