Today I wrote a very little Perl program, called 'gale' that creates HTML galleries.

Well, what it really does is to create a thumbnail of each image found in the working directory using ImageMagick's 'convert' program, and then to write an 'index.html' with each thumbnail linking to its corresponding image.

I recognize it's very simple and very ugly, but I'm only trying to (re)learn how to program in Perl. Excuse me, please.

Update (21:59 GMT -0500): I decided to upgrade the program. Well, it's actually a minor upgrade, only. Now, it creates a single HTML file for each image in the gallery, and you can place a comment for it. Nicer, ¿no? :-)
