Hello Monks,

I have been on quest to understand how to make thumbnails through a CGI. To make a long story short I need to use GD.pm 1.6.2 or later(with JPEG support).

I have had a misserable time fiquring out why this simple script would not work.

Well finally I understand that my web host is still using (GD.pm 1.1.8)

Any way my little script has use GD.pm; but I need to use a newer module in my cgi-local directory. I am not sure how to make certain that my little script does not access the old version and as important make sure it uses the new version in the script.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

Cal
