    The main problem I see with using Imager under mod_perl is the
    increase in the memory footprint of your mod_perl children if you're
    working with large images. If you're working only with small images
    it shouldn't matter.

    But then, you probably already know this.

    If all of Imager's tests pass, and you're using giflib 4.x, you have the
    patch installed.
