I am creating a image gallery using perl and mysql. I found the following script to create thumbnails of images in a directory. It executes but doesn't work. I want to put this snippit in the gallery display script(which works)to create thumbnails of files that are not already created. I don't understand why this doesn't work. I suppose that I could be haveing a path problem but I don't think so but I have tried http://typhoon.he.net/~bthcraft/john/images
/home/bthcraft/public_html/john/images
/home/~bthcraft/john/images
any help would be appreciated john larson 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $size=100;
my $qual=50;
my $prefix="tn_";
$dir="/home/bthcraft/public_html/john/images";
opendir(DIR,"$dir");
my @files=grep(/\.jpeg$/,readdir(DIR));
closedir(DIR);
foreach $file (@files)
{
system("convert -geometry ".$size."x".$size."-quality
$qual $file".$prefix."$file");
}
