Re: Image Conversion: SVG to PNG

Why bother with Image::Magick "from cpan" when "convert.exe" is available for download?

FWIW, the download also includes Image::Magick -- thats the secret -- I have no recall what version they ship with now, but it doesn't matter because

http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Image-Magick.ppd, http://code.activestate.com/ppm/PerlMagick/ ...

strawberryperl imagemagick, strawberryperl imagemagick,

Also "two platforms from cpan" is boring , provide binaries, the end :)

Thanks for the heads-up regarding `convert.exe`. I don't work with images that often but have used `convert` (i.e. the nix version) from time to time for ad hoc* format conversions and occasional resizing. It would be handy, even if only used infrequently, to have that functionality available on a Windows platform also. It looks like I'll probably go with `Image::LibRSVG`, but thanks anyway for the ImageMagick links. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
