Hello,<br />
<br />
I've written a script in perl-cgi to automatically display images from a folder on to a web page.<br />
<br />
I now have two questions:<br />
<br />
1. Is there a good way (preferably using perl), of turning images into thumbnails? I don't mean just changing their dimensions but actually shrinking the filesizes along with the images.<br />
<br />
2. I wanted a button to rotate the images in case they're portrait. Is there a relatively simple way of doing this or shall i hit cpan?<br />
<br />
cheers,<br />

Image manipulation with Perl

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
