Printing Passport Photos With Perl

nollaigoc writes "John Walker, founder of Autodesk, makers of Autocad now lives in Switzerland.
His homepage http://www.fourmilab.ch/ is an eclectic mix of interesting stuff. There is an interesting link of his latest perl project in printing passport photos at a mall on a single sheet, while resizing the image from a digital camera to print out multiple copies of the at the correct size on a single sheet."

Looks like a nice business

Just set up a Kiosk based on this program at your local passport office- and rake in the coin....

... then write in your CV that you're a perl developer.

Feel ready to own one or many Tux Stickers [ptaff.ca]?

What a nerd!!!

John Walker is growing to be one of my heros and all together favorite nerds. From the "Hacker's Diet" to the one off script, his web site is an ecclectic geek paradise.

I only hope that someday my website will contain even half as much junk.

Yeah, like reproduction. If skinemax didn't exist, perhaps there would be fewer idiots like yourself around.

Oooo! It says Passport, it must be bad!

Uh, when you apply for a passport, you need two duplicate photos.

This is a perl script to print two duplicate photos, e.g. to take with you when you apply for a passport.

We need a "-1, Incoherent"..

Absolutely favourite fourmilab program ...
