I may be wrong, but I would expect any of the modules mentioned to return just an intensity in the case of a true grayscale image, I could be wrong, or it could be a case of the image technically being a color image that just so happens to only contain grays. Nonetheless, if all else fails, just use any one of the values, ignore the others, they should be the same.
Well, just did some testing, and at least in regards to Image::Magick it still returns RGBA values, I can't speak for the others haven't had much experience with them, so at least in the case of Image::Magick, I would suggest just dumping the spare values.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
