Yes.  I am a co-maintainer so that I can release
PDL::IO::GD with PDL.  Judd Taylor is the author
or primary maintainer.  PDL and PDL::IO::GD are
two different namespaces.

GD is a file IO library (reading and writing image files).
The PDL::Graphics::* modules are for drawing/display, not
just file IO.

Documentation bugs are bugs.  You'll need to provide
more specific information for an official bug/problem
report.  See BUGS for what to include.

Yes.  See other answers and discussion on this thread.

There was a previous discussion on pdl-porters about
making a LUT for image display.  See the thread at

Good luck,
