here is my lame attempt:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# 100 simultaneous supernovae collapse into a supermassive blackhole!
# This makes a pretty picture by incrementing the sigma values on the 
# sample data resulting in an animated GIF. Please feel free to hack 
# it up and post your version!

use warnings;

use Imager::Heatmap;

my $filename = 'heatmapa.gif';

print "Generating GIF frame ";

my $text = Imager->new(xsize=>300,ysize=>30);
