Test script for GD...
Does anyone know of any good GD test scripts? I need to see at least a demo script works on my server, before I start learning how to use it, etc. Current code I have is;

Code:
use GD;


# create a new image
my $im = new GD::Image(100,100);


# allocate some colors
my $white = $im->colorAllocate(255,255,255);
my $black = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,0);
my $red = $im->colorAllocate(255,0,0);
my $blue = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,255);


# make the background transparent and interlaced
$im->transparent($white);
$im->interlaced('true');


# Put a black frame around the picture
$im->rectangle(0,0,99,99,$black);


# Draw a blue oval
$im->arc(50,50,95,75,0,360,$blue);


# And fill it with red
$im->fill(50,50,$red);


# make sure we are writing to a binary stream
binmode STDOUT;


# Convert the image to PNG and print it on standard output
print $im->jpeg;

The problem with this, is that I get an IS Error. It is as follows;

[Thu May 29 08:26:44 2003] [error] [client ] malformed header from script. Bad header=ÿØÿà: /home/bn123/bn123.net/www/test.cgi

I'm not sure if this is a script problem, or a missing library, or what?

You aren't printing a header Frown

print "Content-type: image/jpg\n\n";

I like how again we have to fix code you are getting paid to write Tongue

I always think (for some reason) that the writing part will print a header for me. Duh! Do you know of any good examples that would show me how to use GD::Text ?
