I have been trying to read in a base64 jpeg using the GD::Image->newFromJpegData routine. The code follows:

use strict;
use GD;
use Tk;
use Tk::JPEG;
use MIME::Base64;

# Create the main window
my $main = MainWindow->new();

open (FILE, 'd:\test\found.B64') or die "Cannot open found.b64: $!";
my $encoded = join "", <FILE>;
close FILE;
my $im = GD::Image->newFromJpegData($encoded);
[download]

I have also tried using:

use strict;
use GD;
use Tk;
use Tk::JPEG;
use MIME::Base64;

# Create the main window
my $main = MainWindow->new();

open(JPG, 'd:\test\found.b64') or die "Cannot open found.b64: $!";
my $jpegdat;
read JPG, $jpegdat, -s JPG;
my $im = GD::Image->newFromJpegData($jpegdat);
[download]

But in either case I get the following error on the newFromJpegData line. Can't locate object method "newFromJpegData" via package "GD::Image". I am on a Win 2000 system.

Has anyone encountered this, or have a suggestion on what may be wrong? I have all the modules loaded and tested it earlier in the code using GD::Image->newFromJpeg('found.jpg') successfully. I have also tested the file and the base64 is a valid jpeg.
