If convert is on your system, chances are so is Image::Magick.

Not in my experience; usually the Perl module has to be installed separately. How easy that is depends on what Perl you're using, for example, one could use the system Perl and just install libimage-magick-perl, but building ImageMagick (or GraphicsMagick nowadays, apparently) and its Perl module can be a can of worms.

Is there a reason to not use a pure Perl implementation rather than forking a convert process?

Simplicity, mostly. This was only intended for *NIX (for now), I wasn't concerned about performance, and since I'm using my own IPC::Run3::Shell module, I can be sure to avoid all the pitfalls of running external commands. Using the Perl module would be better if I was doing multiple operations on the image that are hard to do in a single command line, but the convert command line I'm using is simple enough.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
