Hi, when using Writer.pl I get this error, when embedding exiftool into C++. I can test later if this also happens with the perl interpreter via perl -e: "You may need to build a new perl executable which either supports dynamic loading or has the Encode module statically linked into it. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl line 124" Bye Thorsten
