Crap, I was in such a hurry when I posted that message, I didn't have the time to read the details

I wonder if it's even possible for a perl script to resize an image in the first place? Perhaps it needs an external application to do it (like GD) anyway?

I'd hate for this idea to come to an end just because it's not possible to resize an image

I'll ask the other sites what they use to generale the thumbnails...
