Great, this works! Thanks.

But now a possibly philosophic question: which module *should* I use: 
GdkPixBuf or GdkImlib? Where are advantages, drawbacks? Both modules are
part of the default distribution, aren't they? Are there any 
dependencies of these modules to other libs? I think this would be a 
substantial argument, among features, because installation of Perl Gtk 
can be hard enough. So I don't wont to bother the user with complying 
more requirements than necessary.
