I just read your interview on ebv4linux.de. You say "actually, only Perl programmers are interested of ExifTool." Maybe I am an exception ;)
I am working in the European Central Bank. There are lots of documents which had been created for the construction of the new main building, and it is my job to store them all into a data base: drawings, certificates, calculations, photos etc. The photos need to get additional information about the location where they had been taken (building, floor level, company) which have to be stored into the EXIF and IPTC data. I am doing this with MS Excel and wrote an Excel VBA macro which creates a batch file for every photo containing the command line string for ExifTool and then activates the batch file. Meanwhile I transferred additional data into more than 50,000 photos.
Thanks for your great job!
Thanks! I'm glad you find ExifTool useful.

The context of this statement was other software projects that use ExifTool. Things have changed considerably since this article was written in mid 2006. ExifTool started to gain more momentum after the stand-alone Windows version was made available (late 2006). Since then, many applications have started using ExifTool (see here (https://exiftool.org/index.html#related) for a partial list).
