in reply to Resizing images with transparent background?

Image::Scale can resize and keep transparency if you use the png format instead of gif. I tried this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Image::Scale;

my $img = Image::Scale->new('image.gif');     
$img->resize_gd(  { width => 150 } );
$img->save_png('newImage.png');

    Image::Scale looks great. Can't get it to install though, because I don't have libjpeg and libpng on my XP vm. Working on it.
