Hi.

I am using free hosting, and I don't have access to the server to install new modules... Image::Magick is not installed and I can't seem to even install it on my own Win98 box, and I need to be able to open some pictures and output them into a single one thru an <IMG> tag.

and this has to happen online... (I don't have some pictures that I want to join)

So Here's my silly thought;

Is there someplace I can read about how a jpeg or png file is structured?
in other words, is there a way that I can learn how to read and write an image file without using Image::Magick ??

Can anyone throw in a quick link??

Thanks
