Archive::TAR with better performance ?

Hi all, Is there a way to tar files without using the Archive::TAR module which is known to be very slow and ressource guzzler (comment in the faq). I am looking for a Perl module directly linked to the C library of tar to have almost the same performance and the power of perl ? Thanks in adv

Image::Magick Montage usage

Hi there, I have 189 gif images at 200x200 and I want to combine them in a 3x61 arrangement, ending up with a 600x12200 gif. Firstly is this just crazy talk? I realise this is a large image, but I've dealt with larger in the past. Secondly, what the hell am I doing wrong!? My code is below. I ha
