So for this line, 

$image->Annotate( gravity    =>'southeast', 
                  font       =>'Arial', 
                  pointsize  =>$fontsize, 
                  fill       =>$color,  
                  x          =>500, 
                  y          =>$y, 
                  text       =>$config_data[$i][0], " Information Last
+ Updated at: ", scalar localtime((stat($filename))[9]))";

It's the text section that's driving me crazy. Normally the text is supplied with single quotes, which as you've explained is not interpolated. But having the line like this isn't working either: 

...
                  text       =>"$config_data[$i][0] Information Last U
+pdated at: scalar localtime((stat($filename))[9]))";

Nor is any combination of double quotes, no quotes, or comma-separated values I can think of. I keep getting syntax errors. I'm sure this is simple but I just don't see it.
