Imager would search the default current directory entry in @INC when searching for file format support modules.

CPANSA-Imager-2014-01 (2014-01-03)

When drawing on an image with an alpha channel where the source minimum is greater than zero, Imager would read from beyond the end of a malloc() allocated buffer. In rare circumstances this could lead to some of the source image not being written to the target image, or possibly to a segmentation fault.

CVE-2024-53901 (2024-11-17)

"invalid next size" backtrace on use of trim on certain images

NAME

Imager::Handy - simple access to common functions

SYNOPSIS

use Imager ':handy';
my $color = NC(255, 0, 0);
my $font = NF(1.0, 0, 0);

DESCRIPTION

If you use Imager with the :handy import tag, it will export a number of functions that can shorter your code.

NC()
newcolor()
newcolour()

Create a new Imager::Color object, supplying any parameters to the new() method.

my $color = NC('red');
NF()
newfont()

Create a new Imager::Font object, supplying any parameters to the new() method.

my $font = NF(file => 'foo.ttf');
NCF()

Create a new Imager::Color::Float object, supplying any parameters to the new() method.

my $colorf = NCF(1.0, 0, 0);

BUGS

NC() can be mostly replaced by supplying the color name or other description directly to the drawing method.
