Or you can use it as an opportunity to learn PDL, which is what kids these days would call a DSL, for manipulating just that sort of data stored linearly in memory with performance much like that of C, in Perl. Of course you’ll have to write more code that way, and there’s a somewhat steep learning curve to climb if you’ve never used PDL before. For byte-pushers it’s worth the time, though. Oh, and if you’re not going to do that, you could check out the Imager module as an alternative to GD which I find a whole lot nicer than GD in a whole lot of ways.
