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: different Makernote Problems
Hi Bozi,

Sorry for not recognizing the problem sooner (especially sorry because I reverted the automatic makernote fixing in case this feature was causing problems).

The new behaviour is as designed, and is due to a feature that was added in version 6.69 which gives you more flexibility over how the missing tags are handled. From the history:

Jan. 8, 2007 - Version 6.69 - The -p option no longer suppresses error and warning messages

And to quote the new -p documentation:

If a tag does not exist, the output value is set to '-' if the -f option is used. Otherwise a minor warning is issued and the line with the missing tag is not printed. However, if the -m option is used, minor warnings are ignored and the line is printed with an empty tag value.

So now you get a choice of 3 ways to handle missing tags.
