Warning
Image::WebP versions through 0.2 bundle an obsolete libwebp decoder affected by
CVE-2026-58586.
Updating the operating system's libwebp package does not update the decoder
compiled into Image::WebP.
Do not use the affected release to decode untrusted WebP images.
A patched release has not yet been published. See SECURITY.md before reporting a vulnerability or contributing security test material.
Image::WebP provides Perl bindings for working with WebP images.
Install the development headers for your operating systems libwebp package
and pkg-config first. Image::WebP now links to that system library; it does
not compile the historical bundled copy.
To install the module:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make installAfter installation, read the module documentation with:
perldoc Image::WebPFor the differences between this raw binding and Imager::File::WEBP, see
MIGRATION.md.
