I want to make some animated GIFs. I will be moving groups of<br>
geometric elements (lines, rectangles, ellipses) around. Extra<br>
points if the tool facilitates 3D, perspective, and programmable<br>
point of view, but merely being able to do something like a pair<br>
of rotating boxes would be fine, I can extrapolate and do the<br>
coordinate transforms with that as a start. I've found a few<br>
modules with useless descriptions and much breakage; perhaps<br>
somebody can point at robust alternatives.<br>

Before you say "Hey, no Flash!" you should also keep in mind it is fairly trivial to convert Flash render frames into individual GIF frames to splice together into an animation.<br>
<br>There are pretty good Perl libraries into Flash, but I'm hesitant to recommend any since it's been years since I've worked with this stuff.<br><br>Good luck,<br>-J<br><br>
