I know this is somewhat off-topic, but a lot of people use the Perl interface to GD, and I'm hoping some of them might be able to answer my question.

How stable is GD's support for GIF at this time? I know it was re-added a little while ago. Is it still a work in progress?

I ask because I wrote a simple C program to read several PNGs in and then assemble a GIf from them, and it failed, leaving only the first frame or not diaplaying anything at all. I tried to make one of the images pallette based and then have the other two use that color pallette, but it doesn't work.

Is GIF support (including animated GIFs) usable at this point? Thanks.
