Subject: documentation for raw read() interleave option is misleading
Misleading is somewhat of an understatement; it almost always breaks unless you do the opposite of what it says. Imager/Files.pod states that "normally" raw files are not interleaved, and proceeds to explain that interleaving can be turned on by using interleave => 1. The logical assumption after reading this is that non-interleaved files can be loaded with no special options, however, looking at the code or running a simple test case indicates that interleave is enabled by default and needs to be forced to 0 for "normal" files.
