When you say "we capture a remote webpage" do you mean that you are capturing an image of it or just downloading the HTML? If the former then GD or ImageMagick will easily be able to resize it to a thumbnail; however, if you mean the later then you will first need to render the HTML. I don't know of any modules that do that (but you might search CPAN), but you should be able to feed the HTML into Firefox and do a screen capture. At that point you can just resize the image. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
