This is an extension for Tk800.005 and later which supplies JPEG format loader for Photo image type. (Please use earlier Tk::JPEG with Tk40?.*) The sub-directory jpeg is release 6a of the The Independent JPEG Group's (IJG) free JPEG software with only the addition of a (dubious) Makefile.PL. This package is not distributed with perl/Tk due to different portability and licencing issues see jpeg/README for details of IJG's license. This version uses Tk wrapper code based on the Img extension to Tcl/Tk. The support for -data and passing options to read and write is incomplete. The build process does not follow a proper MakeMaker mechanism yet. In particular Makefile.PL in jpeg directory just invokes IJG's GNU-ish 'configure' script. Thus some hand intervention may be required. That said : perl Makefile.PL make make test Should build it. Nick Ing-Simmons
