Re: ExifTool & system()

Check what system returns. I don't think it is what you are expecting.

So I swapped each of the three system() calls for backticks like the following... `# Extract main (left) image. my $fdbk = qx\|exiftool -trailer:all= $mpo -o $dir_in/L.jpg 2>&1 1>/dev +/null\|; print "ExifTool error on image 1: $fdbk\n" if $fdbk;` [download] ...and no error prints from the print() command but nevertheless I get three prints of just plain... "The system cannot find the path specified" ...in the CLI all by themselves. And the program still works. What am I failing to understand still yet?	[reply] [d/l]
