in reply to Printing an Image directly to HTML

Not exactly what you're trying to do, but it works with most anything that can display a <table> :)

use GD;$f='#ffffff';$T=table;sub p{print@_}p"<body bgcolor=$f>";for(@A +RGV){ open*G,$_ or(warn("$_: $!")&&next);$g=GD::Image->newFromGif(G)||(warn$ +_, ": GD error"and next);@c=map{$_!=$g->transparent?sprintf'#'.('%.2x'x3) +,$g-> rgb($_):$f}0..$g->colorsTotal;p"<$T border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing +=0>";( $x,$y)=$g->getBounds;for$j(0..$y){p"<tr>";for($i=0;$i<$x;$i++){$s=1;$s +++&& $i++while($i+1<$x&&$g->getPixel($i+1,$j)==$g->getPixel($i,$j));p" <td bgcolor=",$c[$g->getPixel($i,$j)]," colspan=$s>&nbsp"}}p"</$T>"}
