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? :-)
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
