That is very dependent upon the OS and the graphics capabilities of the
system in use. Are you talking about displaying on an X desktop, or
Windows, or what?
That said, the Tk module for Perl gives you the capability to manipulate
GUI widgets on most systems (X, Windows, Mac, etc). You can manipulate
bitmapped images through that.

There are several ways to do this, again, based on the OS & graphical
capabilities of the system you are doing this on. The text-only Curses
module can do this, as can many of the Term::* modules, but they work only
with terminal screens and not bitmapped GUI screens. Again, Tk can help
here, or similar Perl modules like PerlGTK.
