Greetings Fellow Monks!
Operating System: Windows XP w/ a GigaWare 2.0 Mpixel USB Camera attached.
Windows properly recognzies the camera. The goal is to capture an image with the perl script written below and save the image.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Win32::API; use Win32::Scanner::EZTWAIN; my $path_to_dll="C:\\EZTW32\\eztw32.dll"; my $scanner = new Win32::Scanner::EZTWAIN(-dll => $path_to_dll); $scanner->select_image_source(); $scanner->acquire_to_file("P:\\USB-Camera-Image-Capture\\test.bmp" +);
However... when I run the script it fails with this error:
P:\>test686.pl Importing API call TWAIN_SelectImageSource failed at P:\test686.pl line 9

Being new to this particular area of perl, my question simple is: What am I doing wrong?
Any insight and or wisdom provided to get this working properly would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
