Newb Needs Help with Simple ImageMagick Module

[ion]

I am totally new to ImageMagick and am banging my head on this one. (I
am also a bit weak when it comes to OOP)

I need a PERL script that reads 3 gif files from the hardrive and
concatonates them together into 1 image, then displays it to the
browser. (yes, I am building a counter)

Here is what I have so far, Any help getting this to work is greatly
apreciated:


#!/usr/bin/perl
use Image::Magick;

my($image, $x);
$image = Image::Magick->new;
$x = $image->Read('img1.gif', 'img2.gif', 'img3.gif');

print "Content-type: image/gif\n\n";
$x = $image->Display();
undef $image;


Thanks in advance
Ion

Um, why? Why not just feed the broswer three images? Why take on the
processing overhead to concat the images?

BTW, it's "Perl," not PERL.

Heya. Thanks for the reply.

This is because I am writing this for use by webmasters on their sites
and need to be able to provide an image tag that will generate the full
counter. ie:

<img src="www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/coolcounter.cgi">
