Hello Monks, it has been a awhile since I was here to ask a question, and I have been searching for an answer for this one for a while with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am putting together a TK script for loading various jpeg files so I can scroll through and rename the pictures taken from my camera in a little simpler way. I am running into a little problem though; my camera takes pictures with a sie of 2048x1360 and my monitor is 1280X800. This means that the jpeg images don't show properly on my screen when I make them in a TK object. Anyone know how to generically reduce the image size (say always show at 25% or 50% actual size)?. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::Photo;
use Tk::JPEG;
my $file="c:/pictures/2005/guns/DSC00101.JPG";
my $w=new MainWindow;
my $image=$w->Photo(-file=>"$file", -format => 'jpeg');
my $b = $w->Button( -image => $image )->pack();
$b->configure(-image => $image);
&MainLoop;

Thanks in advance to all who respond! -Kevin
