Generate graphic submit-buttons dynamically for web-sites

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi there,

i'm searching for a possibility, to generate nice looking submit-buttons for my web-application on the fly (in the way like gimp does). Can anyone point me to a place where i can get a working example?

Thank you all

The Gimp Registry is a good place to look. There's a cgi script to generate highlighted buttons for javascript rollovers there, which is the closest thing I can think to what you seem to be looking for :-/	[reply]

++GIMP Perl module n' all, but depending on how 'nice' you want them to be, and how much work you're willing to put it, you might also look into using GD or Image::Magick, which are simpler things (they are toolkits, rather than interfaces into the goodness that is the Gimp). Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply]

You can always write a perl-gimp script to generate the button, and then have your cgi-script call the perl-gimp script. It may not be the fastest way, but it should be fairly easy to do.	[reply]
