Been stuck for 2 days solid.

I'm trying to run EXIFTOOL-Vendored (npm) on Lambda but I get the 'perl missing' error.  Then try to add custom layers but thats so complicated.  Then tried docker but again same issues there.

Are there any simple ways to get this working?? Doesn't have to be exiftool-vendored just any way I can get it to run  :'(  :'(

I'm not sure if there is anyone here who uses AWS Lambda, but as the error says, you need Perl installed. Exiftool is a Perl program.

A quick search seems to indicate that you need to make a custom runtime and install Perl to that.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
