The Hindmost has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks,
this is probably one of those really obvious questions, that I just missed the answer to whilst searching, but does anyone one know of a module for doing image processing (i.e. edge detection, gaussian masking and the such like). I've tried cpan and google, but can't find anything that actually is useful. If no modules exist, is there a routine for reading in bitmaps so that they can be manipulated as a matrix of pixels (I've got code that does image manipulation in matlab, from a Computer Vision module I'm taking but want to do this in perl)?

Thanks in advance.
