Okay, I downloaded that, and as it said in the readme file, I ran "./configure" and then "make install". The configure thing remarked that there was no support for JPEG library or Freetype 2.x library, but seemed otherwise happy. "make install" popped out a long list of errors, most of which seem to be related to gd_png.c, and concluded 
make[1]: *** [gd_png.lo] Error 1
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I don't know if that means it's installed or not.

Going back to the GD module, now "make" runs without complaining, but "make test" still fails:

t/GD.t      (Wstat: 512 Tests: 1 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  1
  Non-zero exit status: 2
  Parse errors: Bad plan.  You planned 12 tests but ran 1.
t/Polyline.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
  Non-zero exit status: 2
  Parse errors: Bad plan.  You planned 1 tests but ran 0.
