Re: [MacPerl] graphics with MacPerl

[Wilkinson Library <wilknson@ican.net>]

Hello ?,

Sorry, only got the tail end of this thread and I can't tell if a portable
solution is required. If you want to run a cgi script to dynamically
generate graphics on the macintosh only, why not look at clip2gif, which is
AppleScriptable

http://iawww.epfl.ch/Staff/Yves.Piguet/clip2gif-home/

Also look at clip2gif's cousin, GifBuilder, to build your own animated gifs.

You could call these from MacPerl either using applescript or appleevents.
clip2gif will use the clipboard, but I guess you will have to save the file
to disk to make it a GIF formatted file.

Both are free.
