Joel, I was responding to your post. My intent is to minimize rewrite of my existing code. I do wonder why my host wont load the perl modules though. The company is www.ipowerweb.com Anyway, the suggestion to make a system call looks like my best route for doing this. I also will take a fresh look at my code to see if I can divide it up better to make use of PHP for the image prior to running my perl script.
