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.

Re: running exiftool in Mac OS X
Hi Pedro,

You need to either type the exiftool directory each time, ie)

~/Desktop/Image-ExifTool-6.66/exiftool -h ~/Desktop/test/60512F-01.CR2

or add the exiftool directory to your PATH. Since you are using bash, it can be done like this:

echo "export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/USERNAME/Desktop/Image-ExifTool-6.66" >> ~/.bashrc

where "USERNAME" is your user name. (Just cut and paste the above line as a command in your terminal window, substituting USERNAME appropriately.) Then you must open a new Terminal window for the new PATH to take effect.

Note that both of these examples assume that exiftool is in a directory called "Image-ExifTool-6.66". If it is somewhere else just change this to the proper directory name.

(Also, in these examples I have used "~", which is a shorthand for your home directory "/Users/USERNAME" that can be used in commands and filenames.)
