I asked about this a couple of weeks ago-- and although the answers were correct they didn't end producing a solution.

My question:
I need a script that will automatically make a thumbnail image.

The answers I got last time were to use Image::Magick or GD module. In both cases I can't install the modules in my directories because I don't have root access. They require some additional compiling in C. My host company is very slow to help me (after three weeks of bugging them everyday they haven't helped me).

So now my questions is:
Does anyone have a simple script that doesn't require any modules (other than the standard ones) that can produce a thumbnail image? Quality is not that important (within reason) I just need thumbnail images made.

Thanks for any insight
