Is there any pure Perl module to create images and to place text in the image?

Question

I am looking for the pure Perl module for creation of the image file. I went through internet and found some modules GD, Imager, Prima-1.28 but these are all contains 'C' (.c) file and (.h) files.

Answer 1

Maybe PerlMagick (ImageMagick) is what you are looking for?

Answer 2

I don't know about a pure Perl module for image handling but by installing ImageMagick you'll be able to use PerlMagick which will allow you to do everything you ever wanted.

Answer 3

I'm not aware of any such module and I doubt that there's much demand for a pure-Perl image lib, given that a) C image libs are widely available and b) image manipulation requires you to do a lot of low-level bit twiddling of just the sort that Perl really isn't all that good at, so it would be much slower than any of the standard C image libs.

Answer 4

Have a look at PostScript::Simple. But I think you really want one of the XS modules.
