Can't locate object method "newFromJpeg" via package "GD::Image&q

[cadbilbao]

Hi.

I'm trying to execute this piece of code:
----------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use GD;
my $srcimage = GD::Image->newFromJpeg("/home/john/dog.jpg");
my ($srcW,$srcH) = $srcimage->getBounds();
--------------

And I get this message error:
---------------
Can't locate object method "newFromJpeg" via package "GD::Image" at test.pl line 3.
---------------

My configuration is made with the last versions of:

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

http://freshmeat.net/projects/libjpeg/

http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/

http://www.zlib.net/

I had no problems to build GD-2.30:

What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much.

My docs for GD don't list newFromJpg as a method. They offer

Object Constructors: Creating Images
       The following class methods allow you to create new GD::Image objects.

       $image = GD::Image->new([$width,$height],[$truecolor])
       $image = GD::Image->new(*FILEHANDLE)
       $image = GD::Image->new($filename)
       $image = GD::Image->new($data)

of which the third looks appropriate.

Are you using the right docs for your installed version?

I'm have GD 2.30 installed and it does list that method:

$image = GD::Image->newFromPng($file, [$truecolor])
$image = GD::Image->newFromPngData($data, [$truecolor])
The newFromPng() method will create an image from a PNG file read in
through the provided filehandle or file path. The filehandle must
previously have been opened on a valid PNG file or pipe. If
successful, this call will return an initialized image which you can
then manipulate as you please. If it fails, which usually happens if
the thing at the other end of the filehandle is not a valid PNG
file, the call returns undef. Notice that the call doesn't
automatically close the filehandle for you. But it does call
"binmode(FILEHANDLE)" for you, on platforms where this matters.

So, like fish asked, do the docs refer to the version of GD you're using?
