I'm moving my photos from iPhoto on a Mac laptop to a Linux server with digiKam, and want to preserve all the photo albums I'd created in iPhoto.
I did a bunch of googling around, and found two things: 1. Mac::iPhoto - which is apparently out of date, and doesn't work with current versions of iPhoto 2. A blog entry by Tom Gidden where he posts some scripts he wrote to parse the info, but his scripts can only run on the Mac as they use the Foundation classes to parse the XML. So, I wrote my own code to parse the XML and create a hash/array structure equivalent for Perl. This XML format is used all over Apple software, including iTunes which also runs on Windows. So, I'd like to publish this on CPAN, but I'm not quite sure where to put it. I could put it under Mac:: but the iTunes/Windows option rules that out in my mind. Apple:: makes sense, but some might think that the module was produced by Apple or one of its employees which is not true. I don't know if this "plist" XML format is used anywhere outside of Apple software though? Would XML::PList work? Any ideas are welcome.
