Yes, as almut mentioned very wisely..
I know Image::Magick is funny- some of the methods only return if there's an error. Ala unix.
This is a little of the frustration of mixing c coders with perl code :-)
So, those $x hold the error, if there is one.. so..
my $count;
foreach my $item (@names) {
$count++;
my $photo = '../photo' . $count . '.jpg';
my $image = Image::Magick->new(magick=>'JPEG');
my $x = $image->Read($item);
$x = $image->Scale(width=>'50', height=> '50');
$x and die("Error scaling: $x");
$x = $image->Write($photo);
$x and die("Error writing: $x");
print qq~<img src="http://www.mysite.com/$photo"><br>~;
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
