I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

pipe to exiftool
hi, I used exiftool and wget together with a pipe and it works well with an older version (6.10 ?). Exiftool has decoded the data asap (after about 10-20kbyte fetched). I remember that in the this old version the -htmlDump parameter didnt worked. With newer versions exiftool decodes the data only after the whole file is fetched.
wget -qO - http://....bigfile.jpg | exiftool - -p ~/tpl/e.tpl
when i fetch the file separately and abort the transfer in the beginning then exiftool decodes the saved part.
Whats the matter with the pipe handling in exiftool?
