Perl script to replace xloadimage, xmessage

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

I need advice on what module to experiment with to replace xloadimage and xmessage. Xloadimage simply loads images inside an Xwindow while xmessage displays messages like so. Bear in mind it has to be in my Xsession. The reason being is xloadimage and xmessage are not availble in oracle linux 8_64, at least I could not find em. Thank you!

 
xloadimage -onroot -fullscreen /opt/mei-pos-tc/res/images/current.jpg
xmessage -center -default okay -file $ERRORFILE

    RHEL 8 has the xorg-x11-apps package in the CodeReady Builder repo which contains xmessage. I know Oracle are a law unto themselves but this might be worth a look at least.

    If you just want to view an image in isolation like xloadimage does, then have a look at Gtk3::ImageView.
