To do it the right way would be very complex but doable.

I'd use glib, gtklib, and the gimp as starting points with their respective
perl APIs.

If you don't want to get that complex you might be able to get away with
imagemagick but it really isn't that good at "redoing art" as opposed to
running filters or converting things.
