This is a good place to start...
PM has had a few discussions about GD.pm as well.
and Google will almost always find what you are looking for.

Lincoln Stein's GD.pm is a Perl port of Thomas Boutell's
gd graphics library (which is implemented in C). Though it's
more C-specific, Boutell.com's gd page
(http://www.boutell.com/gd)
provides a lot of useful information and examples, and will
give you insight as to how the original library was
implemented.

A good dead-tree intro can be found in O'Reilly's Programming Web
Graphics with Perl & GNU Software by Shawn P. Wallace. | [reply] |
The only downside to GD is that there's a 256 color palette limit... which is fixed in the gd 2.0.1, which is currently as beta :)
Fingers crossed til it comes out in stable and Lincoln ports it :)

Thanks. While you're at it, does anyone know where to find GD.pm fonts besides the included ones? | [reply] |

GD is supposed to support Freetype, but I have so far been unsuccessful at using Freetype 2 with Perl's GD module.
