I think the key to getting Anti Alias to work is (from the docs): 
When using palette-based images, be sure to allocate a broad spectrum 
+of colors in order to have sufficient colors for the antialiasing to 
+use

That is, if you also allocate: 
my $grey = $gd->colorAllocate(130,130,130);
my $grey1 = $gd->colorAllocate(32,32,32);
my $grey2 = $gd->colorAllocate(64,64,64);
my $grey3 = $gd->colorAllocate(190,190,190);

then you'll find that you get some Anti Aliasing. I'm not sure that you'll be able to actually *see* the difference, but a Digest::MD5 of the output files should reveal that the output has in fact changed. (At least that's what I'm finding on perl-5.8 on Win32.)

Cheers,
Rob
