Looking for way to read jpeg EXIF data in perl

[joneall]

The title says it all.

I know there are perl packages to do that, but I don't know which one to use OR how to install it.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Looking for way to read jpeg EXIF data in perl

From repositories:

libimage-exif-perl, Perl module to extract EXIF information from image files

This Perl extension allows you to extract EXIF information from your
image files, especially photographs taken with a digital camera.

It supports some of the vendor extensions to the EXIF format used by
some cameras.

libimage-exiftool-perl, Library and program to read and write meta information in multimedia files

ExifTool is a Perl module with an included command-line application
for reading and writing meta information in image, audio and video
files. It recognizes EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile,
Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3 meta information as well as the
maker notes of many digital cameras including Canon, Casio, FujiFilm,
JVC/Victor, Kodak, Leaf, Minolta/Konica-Minolta, Nikon, Olympus/Epson,
Panasonic/Leica, Pentax/Asahi, Ricoh, Sanyo and Sigma/Foveon.

If you install libimage-exif-perl =>

/usr/share/doc/libimage-exif-perl/examples/rename.pl
/usr/share/doc/libimage-exif-perl/examples/create_web_gallery.pl.gz

rename.pl:

# script renames file by EXIF date
# for information start perl rename.pl
#
# v 1.3 May-20-2004
#

Note
rename.pl also needs libtimedate-perl, Time and date functions for Perl

This distribution replaces my earlier GetDate distribution, which was
only a date parser. The date parser contained in this distribution
is far superior to the yacc based parser, and a *lot* faster.

The parser contained here will only parse absolute dates, if you want
a date parser that can parse relative dates then take a look at the
Time modules by David Muir on CPAN.
