JPG on Windows

Hi, just started playing with Imager (0.75 from Active State PPM) and I'm very impressed. It will do everything I need, but I need support for jpegs on Windows. Looking at old threads in the forum I tried:

ppm install http://ppd.develop-help.com/ppd/Imager.ppd

but got a 404 error.

Is there a ppd with support for jpg, png, gif etc available? or have I got the wrong of the stick here? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob.

Re: JPG on Windows

The simplest option is to use Strawberry Perl instead of ActivePerl. It comes with Imager prebuilt with all of the useful libraries.
