PGAL Information

PGAL is a set of photo gallery scripts created by me, Paul Fielding, to meet a specific need. You can guess what PGAL stands for. There's lots of great gallery software out there, most of which do way more than my scripts will ever do. My needs were few, but very specific, and existing software didn't format things the way I wanted them. So, I decided to grow my own.

Written entirely in perl, PGAL also makes use of a nifty little product called ImageMagick to do the image manipulation bits. The inline quicktime bits are done using Apple's qtplugin.cab plugin.

All you need to do is find a way to upload your original files to your web server, and PGAL will automatically crop, rename and resize the images to meet it's needs. A web admin interface allows you to re-order, rotate and delete images, and set up comments as needed. An index of all galleries is automatically created and maintained.

These scripts are not intended for public distribution, they're intended to meet my personal needs. That being said, I'm not specifically trying to hide them from the world, I just make zero warranty that they'll work for anyone else. If you're interested in getting your hands on them for your own dire needs, feel free to contact me about it. I can be contacted via my website.

Enjoy!
