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: function -tagsfromfile for 500+ images
Dear Phil,

you're so fast.
Yes, 'PTGUI' in my case is universal.

I tried the new cmd-line as follows:

C:\Images\2008\01_05 Hotel Margna\converted\PTGUI>exiftool -tagsfromfile %-.6d/img%5f.tif -exif:fnu +mber -exif:exposuretime -exif:datetimeoriginal -exif:createdate -@ \images\filelist-test1.txt Error: Error opening file - /img70021.tif Error: Error opening file - /img70038.tif 0 image files updated 2 files weren't updated due to errors C:\Images\2008\01_05 Hotel Margna\converted\PTGUI>

Looks much better. The variable has the correct values for the filename.
But there seems to be a navigation problem with the path.
The underlying TIF files are always located in '\converted' one level above the PSD in '\PTGUI'.

What format does the filelist-test1.txt require?
Full pathname, File name, forward or backslash?
Where exactly do I need to invoke the CMD-line? I tried at c:\images but the resulting error-msg remained equal.

I created listing for all PSD files like this:

C:\Images>exiftool -p psd-list.txt -r -ext .psd * >filelist-test1.txt

The contents are as follows
2008/01_05 Hotel Margna/converted/PTGUI/70021-70030.psd 2008/01_07 Maloja/converted/PTGUI/70038-70050.psd


I am sorry, but I am not so good on fine-tunning the variables. Hope you won't mind to fiddle a bit more with this.
