I have a large windows .Net C# application. There are a number of forms for this app.

I have written a perl script that reads the UI resource files, and extracts the encoded base64 bitmap. I then decode the string.

I want to create a new image base on this current image, but double the size (from 16x16 to 32x32).

If I write the decoded string out to a file in binary mode, I can view the image, but the header is missing.

How do I create the image header, so that I have a correct bitmap?

Here is what I am currently doing: 
    $decodedImage = MIME::Base64::decode($image);
    $smallImage="c:\\temp\\image.bmp";
    
    open(bmp,">$smallImage");
    binmode(bmp);
    print bmp  "$decodedImage";
    close(bmp);

Any help would be appreciated.
