How can I (1) resize an image to 100x100, (2) overwriting the previous larger image with the new thumbnail? When I try the code below, I get some strange looking image. Also, do I need to check if the image $temp is a jpeg or gif and therefore (3) need to modify the second last line accordingly?
$myImage = "/$username/$temp";
$destImage = new GD::Image(100,100);
$srcImage = new GD::Image($myImage);
$destImage->copyResized($s
my $ImageLocation = "/$username/$temp";
open IMG,">$ImageLocation" or die "$ImageLocation $!";
binmode IMG;
print IMG $destImage->jpeg;
close IMG;

I use imagemagick without the perl interface, as follows:
`convert theOriginalFile -geometry 100x100! $$.tempFile;mv $$.tempFil theOriginalFile`;
The reason I prefer the `` shell out is that it means that I can test this all myself at the shell.
ImageMagick is available in binary form for every platform that I have found and it is GPL so free
