Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] [win32-gui] DIBitmap and Animated GIFs?

[Brian M. <bmi...@hu...>]

A note on ImageMagick, I've had problems getting it to work properly =
with
Win32::GUI.  There appears to be a namespace problem, but I haven't =
really
looked into it much.  I am currently working on a project that I may =
need
ImageMagick, so if I find anything out about the problem, I'll post it =
here
(I'll also check if it supports animated GIFs)

It's many years since I played with ImageMagick, but it may do what you=20
need.   Find info about the Perl wrapper at
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/perl-magick.php

I can see version 6.2.8 of Image::Magick in ActiveState's ppm =
repository.

I can't immediately see anything that says it reads animated GIFs, but=20
would be surprised if it doesn't.
