in reply to Can PERL take images from a scanner?

You don't say anything about what OS you are on. If you were a glutton for punishment, and on win32, you could interface with the existing twain libraries. If you are on linux/un*x, several libraries and applications exist (UPDATE: such as SANE). I'd check http://freshmeat.net and not be afraid to bring in a little outside help for the heavy-lifting.

    If you were more of a glutton for punshment, like me, you could write a driver for it yourself, in perl. But my point was to say that you could use TWAIN via SANE via Perl.

    Confession: It does an Immortal Body good.
