The following: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw/:standard/;
use Image::Magick;

print header,
    start_html('file upload'),
    h1('file upload');
print_form()    unless param;
print_results() if param;
print end_html;

sub print_form {
    print start_multipart_form(),
       filefield(-name=>'upload',-size=>60),br,
       submit(-label=>'Upload File'),
       end_form;
}

sub print_results {

    my $length;
    my $file = param('upload');
    if (!$file) {
        print "No file uploaded.";
        return;
    }
        
    open FILE, "> ../new.jpg" or die $!;
    while (<$file>) {
        print FILE $_;
    }    
    close FILE;

    my $src = Image::Magick->new;
    $src->Read('../new.jpg'); 
#    my ($ox,$oy) = $src->Get('width','height');
#    my $r = $ox / 300;
#    $src->Resize(width=>300,height=>$oy/$r);
    $src->Annotate(text=>'Test Magick', y =>30 );
    $src->Write('../new.jpg');


}

does not put the text on the photo. If I uncomment the resize, the resize does work (tho' still not the text), so my script is obviously calling on Image::Magick. Is there something else I need to be doing to make the text appear?
