The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:       GFL
  DSLIP:       bdhfp
  description: low level wrapper for Graphic File Library
  userid:      GGARAND (Germain Garand)
  chapterid:   18 (Images_Pixmaps_Bitmaps)
  communities:
    comp.lang.perl.modules

  similar:
    GD Image::Magick

  rationale:

    GFL is the name of the cross-platform C library for which this
    module is a wrapper - it stands for Graphic File Library - see
    www.xnview.org It is similar to GD, but with a stress put on the
    very high number of exotic graphic formats supported (more than
    300).

    Thus this proposal to adopt the same naming scheme than GD :

    GFL -> low-level wrapper GFL::Image -> high-level Object Oriented
    wrapper which inherits the above.

    This structure seems the most relevant as it is coherent with the
    inheritance scheme. Moreover, it seems unlikely that a three letters
    capitalized acronym like this one could clash with future root names
    as there are 26^3 = 17576 other 3 letters combinations. At last, GFL
    is actively developped since 2 years and is likely to gain a large
    fame as a "swiss-knife" for image importation.

The resulting entry would be:

GFL               bdhfp low level wrapper for Graphic File Library   GGARAND
