}control Panel, but to no avail.

Which version of MacPerl?

Under 7.1 (it's been a *long* time since I've used it), I think that the
only way that "use GD;" has a prayer of working is if you're using the 68k
version of MacPerl with the libraries compiled in, which is called
"BigMacPerl".  I'm guessing that the Unimplemented Trap is when your
MacPerl attempts to use a dynamic library and fails.
