xwd (X Window Dump) bitmap image: Perl parsing library

xwd is a file format written by eponymous X11 screen capture application (xwd stands for "X Window Dump"). Typically, an average user transforms xwd format into something more widespread by any of xwdtopnm and pnmto... utilities right away.

xwd format itself provides a raw uncompressed bitmap with some metainformation, like pixel format, width, height, bit depth, etc. Note that technically format includes machine-dependent fields and thus is probably a poor choice for true cross-platform usage.
