Scale image problems

jerre_111 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi to you all, I'm seeking for some perl-wisdom if I may. I have some trouble with he "scale" function for an image. What I am trying to do is rescale an image (deuh...) But when I try to execute the perl script, I get the following error: "scale() called in void context - scale() returns the scaled image". I'm using this code to scale the image :

 $src->scale(xpixels=>400);

I was thinking maybe the problem could be my sliders.. I'm also using sliders on my mainwindow and I have made them like this :

 $hrScale = $mw->Scale();

followed by the configure command for the option for the slider. I don't know if it is right what I am assuming? Butt, I don't know what else is causing the error, and I don't know how to fix it. Many thanks already for your help!

    Rather than have people guess, please be specific and tell us what modules you're using to do this. If you're using Imager then the documentation and warning are correct, a new image is returned on successful transformation:

    my $newimg = $src->scale(xpixels=>400);

    From the docs:

    "Returns a new scaled image on success. The source image is not modified. Returns false on failure, check the errstr() method for the reason for failure. A mandatory warning is produced if scale() is called in void context. "

    Please read How do I post a question effectively?.

      Sorry, I was trying to be specific. I see now what I have overlooked.

      Thank you

    $src->scale(xpixels=>400);
    "scale() called in void context - scale() returns the scaled image"

    Yep. Looks like void context to me too.

    Why are you not saving the return value? The message is saying you should do:

    my $resized = $src->scale(xpixels=>400);

    Which puts the scale in scalar context

    Is your $src valid to call scale () on? What module does provide your scale method?

      Sorry, forgot that part.

      I am using the Imager module to do this actions. Normally it is possible with this module, right?!

      this is the code I'm using to define  $src :

       $src = Imager->new(file => $image_file) or die Imager->errstr;

      Where the $image-file variabel is just the pad from where the image is located
