=head1 NAME

=for stopwords gifscale.pl

gifscale.pl - demonstrates adjusting tags when scaling a GIF image

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  perl gifscale.pl scalefactor input.gif output.gif

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Scales an input multiple-image GIF file.  Unlike a simple scale each file
solution this:

=over

=item *

preserves GIF animation attributes

=item *

adjusts the sub-images positions on the background accounting for the
scale factor.
