Hi, I am not sure if have all the facts assembled but it looks like I have a clash between two localy installed packages; Image::Info and Image::MetaData.
I only noticed when I tried to use Image::Info to read some data on a TIFF file. I got the error: Undefined subroutine &Image::Info::TIFF::process_ifds called by /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Image/Info/TIFF.pm line 203 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Image/ has the following file/dirs. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 25 18:51 Info -r--r--r-- 1 root root 13443 Jul 16 12:22 Info.pm drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 3 14:19 MetaData -r--r--r-- 1 root root 37661 Jun 10 07:05 Size.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 31298 Mar 5 2006 TIFF.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Image/Info has these. -r--r--r-- 1 root root 5446 Mar 3 2006 BMP.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 5419 Aug 24 2001 GIF.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8196 Jul 15 13:25 JPEG.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4093 Aug 24 2001 PNG.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2584 Mar 3 2006 PPM.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 3949 Jul 16 13:15 SVG.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 6731 Jul 15 12:06 TIFF.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2721 Mar 5 2006 XBM.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4972 Mar 5 2006 XPM.pm I expect that the Info package wants the file in the latter directory but is retrieving the first one in it's path. The two files are completely different: Image::TIFF.pm ========== package Image::TIFF; # Copyright 1999-2001, Gisle Aas. # Does LWP/HTTP stuff. # Copyright 2006 Tels use strict; use vars qw($VERSION); $VERSION = '1.04'; my @types = ( [ "BYTE", "C1", 1], [ "ASCII", "A1", 1], [ "SHORT", "n1", 2], [ "LONG", "N1", 4], [ "RATIONAL", "N2", 8], [ "SBYTE", "c1", 1], [ "UNDEFINED", "a1", 1], [ "SSHORT", "n1", 2], [ "SLONG", "N1", 4], [ "SRATIONAL", "N2", 8], [ "FLOAT", "f1", 4], # XXX 4-byte IEEE format [ "DOUBLE", "d1", 8], # XXX 8-byte IEEE format ); .... ...snip. Image::Info::TIFF.pm ============== package Image::Info::TIFF; $VERSION = 0.02; use strict; use Config; use Carp qw(confess); use Image::TIFF; my @types = ( [ "ERROR INVALID TYPE", "?", 0], [ "BYTE", "C", 1], [ "ASCII", "A", 1], [ "SHORT", "S", 2], [ "LONG", "L", 4], [ "RATIONAL", "N2", 8], [ "SBYTE", "c", 1], [ "UNDEFINED", "a", 1], [ "SSHORT", "s", 2], [ "SLONG", "l", 4], [ "SRATIONAL", "N2", 8], [ "FLOAT", "f", 4], [ "DOUBLE", "d", 8], ); ... ...snip. It there some way I can force it to use the correct TIFF.pm? Does this sound like a bug? I haven't come across something like this before. Thanx.
