[MacPerl] graphics

[Nicholas.G.Thornton@directory.reed.edu (Nicholas G. Thornton)]

For a project I'm working on for my work I'm given a set of quite large jpeg files. Each of which I have to resize and save versions of into a smaller jpeg and tumbnail jpeg. These are then accessed by a series of similar html pages, with captions and suchlike.

My precourser on this job was doing it by hand via Adobe Photoshop and a html/text editor. Now I know rather easily how I can construct templates, prompt for such things as captions etc, generate the html side of things, and save it where appropriate in Perl. What I'm wondering is, if there's a way to resize and save the images also in Perl (namely while doing the appropriate templates & prompting); and what that way might be? Or if not some other way of automating that side of things. Being as there are currently over 100 images to go through this and 300 or so more comming in the recent forseeable future; I really don't want to do it all manually, even if I am being paid for the time :)
