You don't have to frequent CPAN to search on CPAN. There's also
freshmeat.
I'm not clear on what manipulations you want to do, but if the issue
is moving a bunch of files from foo/DSCN*JPG to named things and
creating a template web page on which you can fill in text, you'll
find many solutions. The one I use is at
<http://www.purple.com/GPL/>
Especially for the creation of the web page, you'll find many
solutions at freshmeat. It's not hard to roll your own, either.
If you want to edit images based on scripts, check out convert, part
of ImageMagick. If you want to edit by hand, use gimp.
