I'm making a perl frontend to a mySQL server to serve up images. Some
of the images are jpegs with keywords stored as comments in the file,
and I want to be able to access those comments through perl. Is there
a module which already exists which does this?
If the comments are EXIF, there's an Image::EXIF library on CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~ccpro/Image-EXIF/EXIF.pm
If they use IPTC instead, there're libraries for that, too:
http://search.cpan.org/~jcarter/Image-IPTCInfo/IPTCInfo.pm
There are alternatives to both of these modules, I believe, but
hopefully the names of the metadata formats will help you to get
started.
