in thread Win32 jpeg writing woes :(

Hi,
  Thats very useful for my testing purposes, but that isn't going to help my situation for what I am trying to achieve. Like I said this is going to end up on different Win32 servers across the net running on shared hosting packages. It's hard enough to get them to install perl modules from the main ActiveState repository, they certainly wont install them from unofficial repositories like this. So at best I'm working with Imager and the core modules.

Isn't there any PurePerl code somewhere (not including and XS) that can convert BMP to JPEG, PNG or GIF? All or one would do.

    That seems extremely unlikely. Those conversions would be extremely slow in pure perl, and there are perfectly good (fast) C libraries to do it.

    You might try to create a PAR archive of your dependencies which you can then ship with your script.
