Re^3: Create an animated gif

Are you on Windows? Tk::Animation dosn't have a method to save it's animation. Most installs have ImageMagick, are you sure you don't? There are two ImageMagicks to check for, the PerlMagick module, and the c utilities. Does your system have a command called "convert"? If so, you have it. Otherwise, you will need to download the images to another computer, animate them, then upload them back. If you google for "make gif animations" there are some online sites that will do it, and return them to you.

I've never seen Perl on Windows with ImageMagick built in, but if you're using ActiveState's Perl distribution, it's very easy to install: you can get a Windows installer, which automatically detects ActiveState's Perl distribution, and tries to install itself in the appropriate place (you might need to edit the PPM file to make it work, though). Won't help if the original poster can't install new libraries, though.	[reply]

Ok here's the setup I can work with. I have perl 5.6-5.8 at my disposal. I think it's activestate perl. It's on windows. I really want to get this accomplished without having to install additional libraries. Are there any tools in the basic build that I could use to make animated gifs? The gifs don't even have to be that complex. Just a two frame animation would be just fine.	[reply]

No. There aren't. If you need to produce an animated GIF, you need to either install a module or write the code to do it - perhaps copying from a module on the CPAN.	[reply]

Yes I am on windows. I'm pretty sure It doesn't have image magick. I did a file search for anything with "magick" in it and it came up with nothing. I don't know if it has a command called convert. I'll have to check. Could it be that there are not files with "magick" in the title but creating gifs would still be possible?	[reply]

The ImageMagick utilities have no magic in their names....they are animate • compare • composite • conjure • convert • display • identify • import • mogrify • montage • stream Look for them. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth Remember How Lucky You Are	[reply]
