I read the wiki article, and am not sure if you are asking your question correctly.

Because of the usb filesystem, all you need to do is mount the camera as a mass storage device, to get at the images. The PTP aspect is transparent as the usb filesystem drivers handle that read.

If, on the other hand you want actually manipulate the low level storage electronics in these PTP cameras or memory cards, Perl may be of use with pack and unpack

Maybe look at the usb filesystem drivers that handle PTP?
