Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Please help!!
I have been working a long time on this and can't get it to work.
I have used gd-barcode to convert a number into a png barcode.
Then I am using image-magick to convert it to a bmp.
I want to use write-excel to open the barcode and print it.
I am getting a bmp 8 from image-magick and I need a bmp 24.
If I open the bmp 8 in fireworks and convert it to bmp 24 then call it from write-excel it works great. How can I get image-magick or some other perl mod to convert my png file to a bmp 24. Here is my code.
$file="c:/web/bcimages/$ID.png"; $file1="c:/web/bcimages/$ID.bmp"; my($image, $x); $image = Image::Magick->new; $x = $image->Read($file); warn "$x" if "$x"; $x = $image->Write($file1); warn "$x" if "$x";
BazB added code tags.
