Abstract

Perl is a powerful language for writing portable programs on a wide range of platforms. In this article two stand-alone Perl toolkits. Prima and IPA. are presented. which provide graphical user interface and image processing functionality with features not found in any other Perl toolkits. Prima is a platform-independent Perl graphic toolkit with an object-oriented interface, Its features include an extensive set of Perl-coded interface elements, a wide range of image types and conversion routines, and a visual builder. IPA, is an image processing toolkit based on Prima functionality, and it provides a set of common two-dimensional operators. Prima and IPA are used as a base for biological research, where the effects of various peptide-based preparations on neuron culture are studied.
