Howdy monks,
This question stems from me trying to figure out how to properly use Perl’s CGI and GD modules.
Basically I am trying to write a cgi that will us GD to draw a black frame around a given image. I want to image to load from a url. So far from the Perldoc I have constructed this:
#!/opt/bin/perl –w
use GD;
use Image::Size qw(imgsize);
use CGI;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);
my $myImage = get(‘http://www.someurl.net/sample.jpg’);
my ($x, $y) = imgsize(\$myImage);
my $image = GD::Image->newFromJpegData("http://www.someurl.net/sample.
+jpg", 1);
my $black = $image->colorResolve(0,0,0);
$image->rectangle(0,0,$x,$y,$black);
I am now a confused as to how I could print out the $image inside of a CGI rendered webpage like this:
my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header,
$cgi->start_html('test page'),
$cgi->h1('it’s a framed picture!'),
$cgi->end_html;
Many thanks in advanced for all, advice, observations and clarifications.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
