Re: [MacPerl] Image::Size module

[pudge@pobox.com (Chris Nandor)]

FYI, all: I just found a "better" way to do this.

#!perl -wl
use AutoSplit;
$dir = 'PowerPudgeII:Programming:Pudge:pudgeprogs:perl:site_specific';
autosplit("$dir:Image:Size.pm","$dir:auto",0,1,1);

This automatically creates the autosplit files for ya (once you put the
Image::Size module away in the right place).
