Truth. In an effort to be brief: I warn for the platform independant
module designer. The lack of simplicity I mention is due to the fact
ImageMagick isn't a pure-perl module that you can just stick in to your
scripts list of dependancies. The complexity stems from image formats,
core manipulation libraries, and their copyrights. Entonces, the
challenges arise in the installation of your photogallery or thumbnailer
module. You inherit the install program, or compile-from-source
procedures of ImageMagick itself.
But like they say, you probably already have ImageMagick on your system...
And as far as the Perl Program Interface... I don't think you can get
much simpler.

Really? I've found its quite easy as long as you follow best practices
(Damian Conway) so that you can read your code later.
Fiddling with images is of itself fairly complex, and the various
graphic modules make it quite simple. Its just there's so many methods
and what not (again because images are complex creatures) that you will
likely need the documentation to job your memory from time to time.
GD and Imager are also good ;)
