delay — set GIF interframe delay

Synopsis

$image->Set(delay=>{0..65535})
$image->Get('delay')

The delay option may be used to regulate the playback speed of an animated GIF. This integer is the number of hundredths of a second that should pass before displaying the next image in a sequence. The default is 0, which indicates that the animation should play as fast as possible. In this case, actual speed can vary from system to system so it is best to either specify a delay that looks good or be sure to test the results on a range of platforms. The maximum delay is 65535 (almost 11 minutes).
