You need a Graphics Engine like ImageMagic or the GD libraries to work with images using perl and you need a web host that will help get them installed or at least allow you to install it.

That last part is worth repeating - you only need root access to install a module if you're installing it to a directory that requires root access to write to. You don't need root to install modules under your home directory, or any other location that's writable by you.

For that matter, you could build and install your own private copy of perl itself under your home directory too.
