in reply to Creating .gif images with Perl

Not that I know of. Note, though, that while GD and ImageMagick aren't pure-perl, they're easy to find pre-compiled versions of.

    How can I build the perl interface to the pre-compiled versions without a c compiler?

    Unfortunately our web host doesn't let you execute binarys out of writeable directories. Is there any other way for a Perl program to create an image that's viewable by both Netscape and IE?

      If your Web host doesn't let you execute binaries from writeable directories, why not remove write permissions from the directory once you have placed the executables there? I don't understand why this would cause any problems. Do you have other problems you haven't mentioned yet?

        The only binarys we can execute are in /usr /bin or /etc
        /usr /bin and /etc are read-only

      What does that have to do with the price of fish?? Don't make the directory writeable then!

      Install your own modules. I suggest GD.

      Read perldoc -q "my own module" for details.
