Hello perlmonks. I am hosting a website and for that purpose i want to make some animated gifs. I have downloaded the module GD but it gives the following error:

libgd 2.0.33 or higher required for animated GIF support at C:\gd.pl line 7.

I downloaded it again to make sure i have the right version, and i get the following message:

GD is up to date. (2.83).

It seems to me i have the right version but i am relatively new to perl. I have been looking on the internet but am unable to find an answer, therefore i seek your help. If you cannot help me i will have to find some other way to make some animated gifs. Thank you.

In reply to GD module has no support for animated gifs by Anonymous Monk
