If you really want to know about Image Processing under *nix , keep to X.
There is something known as XIE( X Image Extensions) .Have a look at THAT
standard before you decide to go around , creating your own one. See if the
X Windows V 6.2 specifications are lacking in any respect. THEN go around to
do your own thing. You do want others to use your library - don't you?

What exactly do you have in mind regarding the Web interface? Image
Processing per se does not require even any graphics hardware to do - You
require a sound knowledge of Computer graphics theory. As such - some
abstract functions , using an X library are pretty much feasible. Try to
avoid the Xlib interface if possible ( plenty of wrappers available- You
could use Athena without touching CreateManagedWindow) and stick to
something which handles maths well- I mean Intutively.
Try to think C first- Do not be restricted to what perl allows you to do.
Cgi programs *can* be written in C - using libwww would be an easy way to do
it.

If you still need to work only in perl- Look at the camel books and once you
have got a feel of perl , grab some relavent modules from CPAN and start.
Happy programming!~
