Not the most common of needs, I guess, since nobody had written that before. But the next time you're designing a button or a customized clock in Perl, it might come in handy. It works with arbitrary GD graphics objects and TrueType fonts, tries to provide intelligent defaults, and the output doesn't look so bad. Sample output is: http://coder.com/daniel/arc-sample.jpg This was also my first foray into writing tests while I wrote code; that was just as useful as everyone says it is, so I think I'm a convert. Of course, I'm sure I need way more than 46 tests, but it's an OK first draft.
