read image file - and process the result

[Alx]

I'd like to read an image file - in PBM/PGM format, to perform some
processing on the image itself.
I didnt find exactly what I need on CPAN:
Image::Magick looks powerful, but it seems to let you read and apply
the manipulation methods that itself provides - I'd like instead to
just get a beautiful array @image=(00,FF,CC,...) with pixel color
values.
Do you happen to know what I could use?

Thanks a lot...

How about gimp-perl?

How about gimp-perl?

thanks for the suggestion - but at last I noticed it was an overkill.
PPM format is a well documented sequence of RGB ascii values: I just
wrote down the routine that reads them all in a 2D array of hashes.

Thanks!
