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.

rekursive is not working
Hello everybody, where is my mistake that the rekursive option is not working. Only the file in the mainfolder is converting, and than the batch is soping :-( h:\vetmed_converter\script\exe\exiftool -r -gpslatitude="47 24 3.05" -gpslatituderef=N -gpslongitude="8 33 4.01" -gpslongituderef=E H:\03_Zuerich_IPTC_Backup\ch\*.*

Re: rekursive is not working
Many people seem to have trouble with this, maybe I should put it in the FAQ, but it is clear in the documentation:

-r (-recurse) Recursively process files in subdirectories. Only meaningful if FILE is a directory name.

So this will only work if "H:\03_Zuerich_IPTC_Backup\ch\*.*" includes the subdirectories you want recursed. There are only rare instances when wildcards should be used on the exiftool command line. Instead, specify a directory name and let exiftool scan the directories.
