Greetings fellow monk,

you may have had enough answers already but i might add this short one as another way to understand your question .

Certainly ( i'm not sure , not being graphics-aware enough ) , Perl can handle any image format but there are perhaps some that are better than the others considering Perl innate abilities .

The formats that don't use encoding like pixmap may be among those if you think about the easiness with which Perl manipulates raw data .

It greatly depends on your purposes but this point of view may be to consider ...

What do you think ? ( you don't really need to answer , that was just my way to conclude this contribution ... ;-).

the little one.
