Looking for dynamic online image manipulation
I have a potential client who owns a stationary store. He wants (long term) to have a setup where people can customize their invitations and such online and view a live preview of what they look at.
I've ordered business cards on such a site (overnightprints.com) and was wondering what it would take to set something like that up.
I'm primarily a Perl programmer, so if there was some kind of Perl module, that would be great. But PHP or something else would be fine, too.

with PHP you have the GD library and/or image::magick which both are able to create images on the fly, resize, crop, rotate, watermark ...
Most banners or tomb stones even (on joke site) I've seen around have been done via javascript, while others with CGI (perl I think)

Cool. Looks like there's even a Perl extension for using Image::Magick. http://www.imagemagick.org/www/perl.html
Thanks, I'll try it out.
