[Pdx-pm] Creating animated geometric GIFs with Perl?

[Andrew Clapp]

Back in the day, I used to write perl to output povray source files for me.
That works pretty well.  Nowadays, you can pass a time value to povray and
it will move, rotate and whatever else you tell it to do to your objects for
you.  I think there's even a nice frontend gui for it now.
