Hi - I realise this may be a very simplistic question...

I have mod_perl installed on my apache server.

I have put also the location of perl.exe in the windows path such that I can run perl scripts from any directoy. using "xxxx.pl"

However, when I try to run exiftools.pl from the command line, all command line options are apparently ignored and I merely get the man pages appearing on screen. I suspect this may have more to do with my environment than the tool itself though...

Cheers,

Ben

Hi Ben,

I don't see what the command line has to do with mod_perl.  The
exiftool application won't work as a GCI script because the parameters
are passed differently.  To do this, I think you would have to write a short
CGI script to read the parameter list and call exiftool.
