Errata

8/29/2001
The counter examples using GD.pm in the book will not work with newer versions of GD, because the GD library no longer supports writing GIFs due to the Unisys patent on ZW compression.

The icount.txt link above shows source code using the newer version of GD which creates PNG images.
