Screen Saver Quotes With Perl GD
If you’ve ever wanted a screen saver with motivational quotes, but didn’t know how to make one - here is a Perl script to do it for you.
I wanted to see how the GD module worked. I created a small script to generate a bunch of JPGs to help myself learn. The Perl code takes a list of quotes below the DATA marker, centers them, and then creates an image of that text on a dark background.
Power of Life and Death In the Tongue
Proverbs 18:21 states: Death and Life are in the power of the tongue and those that love it will eat it’s fruit.
I think this also applies to what we steer our inner voice to say to ourselves. This is another reason why this script was written - to retrain my mind to speak kindly to myself.

Source Code to Create Screen Saver Images with Perl GD
#!/usr/bin/perl
# GD demo. https://grimoire.jamesfraze.com
# This program makes a bunch of jpgs with quotes on them.
# use for affirmations, screensavers, memes, flashcards, passive learning
# or simply as a reminder that you are God's wonderful creation.
# The intent was to steer my inner voice. Enjoy.
#
# Modify the quotes below the DATA mark
# Do not include quotes inside of quotes.
# single quotes are ok
# blank lines are ignored
# "should be in this format. |Author here"
# Standard ascii only, other characters stripped
# run the program from the CLI:
# perl cuts.pl
# Put all the jpgs created into a folder
# set your screen saver or background image manager to cycle through them.
