Ever wish you add information to your photos like a caption, the place
|
|
you took it, the date, and perhaps even keywords and categories? You
|
|
already can. The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC)
|
|
defines a format for exchanging meta-information in news content, and
|
|
that includes photographs. You can embed all kinds of information in
|
|
your images. The trick is putting it to use.
|
|
|
|
That's where this IPTCInfo Perl module comes into play. You can embed
|
|
information using many programs, including Adobe Photoshop, and
|
|
IPTCInfo will let your web server -- and other automated server
|
|
programs -- pull it back out. You can use the information directly in
|
|
Perl programs, export it to XML, or even export SQL statements ready
|
|
to be fed into a database.
