Perl 5.10 Install GD library

In Perl 5.10, the ActiveState ppm server no longer includes the GD package because it's difficult to include it in the automated build process [1]. The GD module however is available from the repository of the University of Winnipeg at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ (for Perl 5.8) or http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/ (for Perl 5.10) [2].

So when use ppm to install GD module, one needs to add the second repository.

On Centos, installing GD library for PHP can be easily done by: yum -install php-gd
