in reply to Does OCR::PerfectCR work at all?

Looking at the source it provides a char map with the md5 checksum followed by the letter. Perhahps you need to add this md5 sum and '3' to the file then try agian? Thereby training it on your font? Just a guess based on what i'm seeing. It's tests use the phrase "about it" and the charmap file only contains entries for those letters. Good luck.

Update: In fact that is exactly what to do. I just did it and it worked like a charm! ;)

    Really? Try it with this other image that also contains the single character "3". It comes up with a new checksum (4ca8f9278145f31c1999d5bb659bc493) which is totally different.

      I think if you reread the POD you might go a little easier on the module.. "OCR::PerfectCR requires that your input is in perfect shape -- that it hasn't gone into the real world and been scanned, that each image represent one line of text, and nothing else, and most difficultly, that the font have a fairly wide spacing. This makes it very useful for converting image-based subtitle formats to text, and probably not much else. However, it is very good at doing that."

      I think theorbtwo's module only recognizes exactly identical images/letters. Your two images are not identical and hence it won't recognize them as identical.
