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

I am trying to view tiff images that have annotations added to them as layers, but I can't find a viewer that will achieve this. The next option would be to somehow extract these annotations from the tiff image. Anyone any idea how to achieve this using Perl. Is it possible to call c:\windows\system32\ImgEdit.ocx using a Perl program? Ta, X

    There are many ways to read image data. Image Magick and the accompanying Perl bindings Image::Magick can help you out with that.
