Would this work to change a gif or png, or would I have to go down to binary?<br><br>I appreciate the ImageMagic answer I received before, and may have to resort to that, but I would prefer to work with pure Perl without loading a module. Surely there is a simple way to read/write a file byte by byte?<br><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">
