| 
| my $image = new Image::Magick;
| $image->Read('snapshot-00000.rgb');
| $image->Annotate(text=>$string, font=>'BitstreamVeraSans', 
| pointsize=>11, fill=>'black');
| $image->Write(filename=>'capture.jpg', quality=>85);
| undef $image;
| ----------

While I haven't even tried this code I do need to ask one thing...

Where is the annotation being positioned?

If it all defaults to absolut defaults, +0+0  then the string is
probably just off the top edge image and will not be visible unless some
of the characters has decenders!   EG? tailed lowercase letters:  pqjyg
