Image::PNG is a "module" for the Perl computer programming language, a library of computer code to install on a computer. This document contains four sections: 1. About - what the module does 2. Documentation - how to learn more about the module 3. Installation - how to install this module on a computer 4. Help - what to do if you get stuck ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ABOUT Image::PNG - Read and write PNG files Image::PNG is a layer on top of "Image::PNG::Libpng". Whereas "Image::PNG::Libpng" copies the interface of the C library "libpng", Image::PNG is intended to be a more intuitive way to handle PNG images. Please note that this module is not completed yet and is still under development, so the interface may change. It's also open to suggestions for improvements. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
