Hi,

Im having serious trouble understanding GD.pm

I have to use it for image uploads and re-sizing for a friends website.

There are files included in the tarball called: MANIFEST, ChangeLog, META.yml and gd.xs. I have no idea what these are, maybe modules? If they are modules, I'm having issues understanding the tutorial listed on your site, this is because i'm not very familiar with some terms used to discribe certain technicalities.

I call upon your perl wisdom to guide me through the preperation of the files and where they should be placed on a server

I thank you in advance
