[Xitami] DG perl module

[Daniel Nowlin]

Thanks, I am looking at it now.  Rather hard to find examples on how to
create thumbs.  What I am wanting is to give the routine the JPG file and
have it create the thumb and send it to the browser.  All of this in a perl
CGI program.  I do not want it to save the thumb at all just create it and
send it to the browser.  I do not know if this can be done but it is rather
interesting to try.
