It seems an important question is whether you want to mess with the size(pixels) or the weight(kilobytes). If all you're trying to do is change the *html display* size , I've used
Image::Size
succesfully for this.

###############
use Image::Size;

$pixel_path = "/path/$directory/$file_name";
($width, $height) = imgsize("$pixel_path");

$new_width = $width/4;
$new_height = $height/4;

print qq~
<img src="/path/to/image/file_name.jpg" width="$new_width" height="$new_height">
~;
##############

The above (which would display the image at 1/4 size) has been working fine for the applications I use it in. Maybe it'd work in yours?

I'm new to the monastery - not sure what the protcol is here about signatures, etc ... hope this is of some help
