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: daemon mode for exiftool

Hmm, I did another benchmark on a more typical folder of jpgs and avis from a digital camera (217 files, 2007-06 folder) and the benchmarks were:

one at a time: 1m 30s

batch mode: 1m 10s

which suggests there is not that much to be gained by a daemon mode. I'm a little puzzled why this folder shows much less improvement than the other one, which had a strange mix of raw/tiff/jpg/pdf/other files... I guess more research is needed before bothering with daemons.
