        open OUT, ">E:/Images/thumb_test.jpg" or die "Could not save ";

DESCRIPTION

This module uses the GD library to create a thumbnail image with no side bigger than you specify.

The subroutine create takes two arguments: the first is a GD image object, the second is the size, in pixels, you wish the image's longest side to be. It returns a new GD image object (the thumbnail), as well as the x and y dimensions, as (integer) scalars.
