in reply to Animate Gifs in Perl\TK
I believe you can use the Tk::Animation module.
The manpage says:
It continues with:use Tk::Animation my $img = $widget->Animation('-format' => 'gif', -file => 'somefile.gi +f'); $img->start_animation($period); $img->stop_animation;
In the simple case when Animation is passed a GIF89 style GIF with multiple 'frames', it will build an internal array of Photo images.Autark
