Hi Monks,&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I've been looking for a way to generate images on the fly and I found the rather helpful [http://search.cpan.org/author/LDS/GD-2.01/GD.pm|GD] CPAN module.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Wonderful! I thought and downloaded it and played with it a little and then decided to run it online on my web-site.  This is where my problem is... the distro of Perl on my website doesn't have GD installed and I am unable to install it there.  Is there another way I can do this?  Include the source for GD some other way than "use GD;"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I'm sorry if this is a rather basic question but I've been tearing my hair out for the last 2 hours searching with no luck so I thought I'd ask if anyone can tell me how or just point me to the relevant part of the FM :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Thanks!&lt;br&gt;
Neil
