in reply to Pure Perl - Crop and Resize Jpeg Files

There are good reasons why this kind of thing is done with ImageMagick etc. It would probably be very slow even if you could write it in pure perl.

The best thing for you is to bit the bullet and work on that installation thing. You'll learn a lot by doing it. But then on the other hand:

I'm developing on a Windows machine (indigoStar.com's IndigoPerl - 5.8) but my target environment is a Unix server that gives me limited access for installing custom software and no super-user privileges.

A specific Unix server? Why not develop on that? And it's either got ImageMagick or GD or whatever, or it hasn't. So, do you know?
