GD::Convert Module GD::Convert is a pure perl module which provides additional output functions for the GD module: ppm and xpm. These formats are useful if you need to dynamically create photos for Tk. Standard Perl/Tk does not accept any of GD's output formats: png only via the additional Tk::PNG module and jpeg only via the additional Tk::JPEG module. So if you cannot compile on your system, this module is for you. To install, type $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make install $ make test For Windows NT and ActiveState Perl, replace "make" with "nmake". Otherwise, just copy Convert.pm to C:\Perl\site\lib\GD (create this directory if not existing). Some tests are interactive if Tk is installed. If you don't like this, define either the environment variable DISPLAY="" (so there are no Tk related tests at all) or BATCH="yes" (the Tk tests will run, but the user does not have to click on a button to exit the test programs).
