The line 228 is in the Tk module, but yeah, it's being called through the write method. Commenting that line out eliminates the error.

Assuming that the 256 colour limit is specific to the gif is a good guess. I can play with the palette values to see if that does it. I assume it's a gif thing, as just displaying the image (part of the original code I derived the example from) seems to work fine.

The quotes don't seem to matter, btw. It seems to do what I want, which I think is a result of specifying the options using the hash-like -var => value method of passing parameters.

And yeah, I'm investigating other tools. I'd forgotten about GD though. Funny that. Thanks!

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
