All these things are possible with ImageMagick and GD library - 2 pieces of software that may be installed on a web server and which work with a great number of popular scripting languages including: Perl, Python and PHP. In this way, you can use images with any web-based application that you'd like, regardless what language it was designed with - a custom-made Perl script or a PHP one.
