OS X which is a BSD, FreeBSD several versions and differebt flavors of Linux :) The OS doesn't matter becasue I'm looking for a way to find the current installed gdlib version, preferabley from GD.pm and hoepfullt platform independant
If your OS is Windows, your can use "ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/GD.ppd";
to install GD (current GD version:2.19) and don't need others action.
If your OS is linux, you can go "http://www.boutell.com/gd/"; for gd-2.0.33.tar.tar
Thanks, I have the latest gdlib and GD installed already. I'm writing a GD::Image module and wanted to check the verion of the c library gdlib that GD.pm is using so I can do different thigns based on what each version allows.
So I need to:
if($gdlib_c_library_that_current_gd_obj_is_using < 2) {# do gdlib version 1 stuff
} elsif($gdlib_c_library_that_current_gd_obj_is_using == 2.0.33) {# do gdlib 2.0.33 stuff
} else {# do default "2 or higher but not 2.0.33" stuff
}
So what I'd like to do is get
$gdlib_c_library_that_current_gd_obj_is_using
from
use GD;
...
my $gdlib_c_library_that_current_gd_obj_is_using = ???;
Does that make it more understandable?
TIA
