Image::Magick - animated GIF

nejcPirc has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello frieds
Do you know how to recognize ANIMATED GIF and NON-ANIMATED GIF(when uploading)?
I tried:

$format=$image->Get("format");
[download]

But the output of $format is the same with animated/non-animated GIF ->$format="CompuServe graphics interchange format"

Do you know, how to distinguish animated from non-animated?

Thanx a lot, Nejc

Image::Magick makes a sequence of images available through the array that the object references: `printf "This image has %s element(s)\n", @$image;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You can test "GIF_Loop" key of an Image::Info data.	[reply]

Image::Info should be faster than Image::Magick since Image::Info ignores the actual image, paying attention only to the meta data.	[reply]

Does anyone know if you can reliably use the GIF header...GIF89a ..vs...GIF87a to detect if it's animated? It seems all the animated gifs I see are GIF89a. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]
