Hello,

This may be a really hard question to answer.. but i thought i would ask some of you pros out there..

How do you print on an image ?
For example.. some access couters automatically print the # of hits onto the image every time your site is hit.
(www.thecouter.com)

I assume they are using Perl to do it.. Is this a very tricky operation to perform ?
Or is there a fairly easy way to do it ?

Hope some of you guys can answer this question. Is is something i have been wanting to lean for a long time

Thanx
Drew

Hi Drew,

Take a look at the GD library. It provides a perl interface to editing images on the fly. You can find it on CPAN, and here's the docs to give you an idea of what it can do:
