If you're planning on using this on a website, the easiest way is to
make 10 image files, one with each digit on it, and just have a simple
script to insert the required image tags into the html.

If you _really_ need to be dynamically generating images, the GD module
is a simple way to do simple things, and the various Image::Magik
modules will allow you to manipulate complex images in complex ways...

There are about 250 other modules with "Image" in their name on CPAN
too, but I've never used any of them so can't comment on them...

(looking through that list though, I'm going to have to make some time
to play with a few of them... Image::EXIF, Image::Thumbnail,
Image::Timeline, Image::Worldmap... Where was I when these modules were
announced I weonder... Oooh, I just noticed ImagePwd and
GD::SecurityImage - one of them might be what the original poster
needs...)

the GD library has the ability to create graphics on the fly.

have a look

$myNumber = 648;

// create new image
$myImage = imageCreate(100 ,100);
// load a font
$font = imageLoadFont('str file name'); // you will need to read into this
function cos i cant be bothered, its in the manual

imageString($myImage, $font, 10,10, $myNumber, 250);



the image functions page in the php manual shows how you can output an image
directly to the browser or
write a file to the webserver to use later
