Can anyone show me how to use soft edges with PerlMagick?

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#soft_edges

I'm looking for something along the lines of this:

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbn ... t_edge.png

I don't want to use true transparency because I'll be saving in JPG format.

create it with transparency and then flatten the result against an appropriate background color so that you get the effect you desire in a JPG result.

... -background somecolor -flatten result.jpg

I don't know PerlMagick so cannot help with the commands.

Thanks fmw42. Can any PerlMagick experts out there point me in the right direction?
