in reply to Resizing images with transparent background?
Alternately, if you can call out to the shell, you could use imagemagick's "convert."
system("convert", "-resize", "file.gif", "newfile.gif");
There are plenty of reasons you might not be able to or want to, but I thought I'd mention this just in case.
for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";
