That would be beyond the scope of this forum.  I know there are phone apps that allow using of Perl, so you might look there.

I'd be interested if you manage to get this working - I've asked in the past about getting exiftool running under iOS (or specifically iPadOS) and never managed to find a solution.

There is this exiftool android app (https://play.google.com/?id=com.exiftool.free) which appears to be still updated, but it was not created by Phil.

Got to run
pkg install perl
pkg install exiftool

and good to go.
