Subject: GD::Simple documentation error
Perl 5.8.7, d/l+install latest GD and GD::Simple from CPAN as usual with perl -MCPAN -e shell. perldoc GD::Simple reports arg. list for arc() as: $imgâ>arc($cx,$cy,$width,$height,$start,$end [,$style]) Whereas code defines 4 options with an optional 5th [$style]. Also perldoc fails to mention you must execute a moveTo() prior to calling arc() to position the graphic.

I've fixed the wrong arc signature in GD::Simple with ac4a4bcb07b874daa67bad197acd014b02e732ce The moveTo is explained at the top of GD::SImple. GD::Simple stores the current position, color and size. -- Reini Urban
