in reply to Geotiffs and GTK2

The way Gtk2's graphics subsystem is setup, a c lib, like libgeotiff, will make itself available to the pixbufloader. So once you install it, the format should be available for display. Getting the meta-data out may take an additional step. Maybe ask on the Perl/Gtk2 maillist.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Gtk2; my @formats = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->get_formats(); my @exts; foreach my $format ( @formats ) { foreach my $key ( keys( %$format ) ) { next unless $key eq 'extensions'; foreach my $elem ( @{ $format->{ $key } } ) { push @exts, $elem; } } } print "@exts\n";
or
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use YAML; use Gtk2; my (@formats) = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->get_formats; print Dump([\@formats]);

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
