Hi! i have this code: 
use Gtk2 '-init';
use Image::Magick;

my $magick = Image::Magick->new;
$magick->Read('pictures/ian.jpg');
$magick->Set(magick=>'xpm');
my $blob = $magick->ImageToBlob();
$pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_xpm_data ($blob);

i get this error: 
GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Inline XPM data is broken: Invalid XPM header at
+ tk-photo.pl line 9.

[download]
i want to put the picture loaded by imagemagick into memory, then the memory is read by a gdk pixbuf. also, if my picture is big (2000x2000 pixels) i think it would be very slow to convert it into xpm format... any other ideas to get image data from image magick using gdk pixbuf without writing to disk. tnx!
