Hi,

I'm trying to get the "creation date" of an image:

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/nova-1.jpg

Now, I have this code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print qq|Content-Type: text/html \n\n|;

use Image::IPTCInfo;

my $file = '/home/www/images/test/nova-1.jpg';

                    my $k = Image::IPTCInfo->new( $file ); # || die Im
+age::IPTCInfo::Error(); 
#                    my $info = new Image::IPTCInfo('file-name-here.jp
+g');

                  # Check if file had IPTC data
                      unless (defined($k)) { die Image::IPTCInfo::Erro
+r(); }

                    print "DATE WAS: " . $k->Attribute( 'date created'
+ );
print "END";
[download]

..which is using this module:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Image-IPTCInfo/IPTCInfo.pm

The only problem, is it never seems to find the right date :/

If I right click that file on Vista, then click "Properties", and then "Details" - it shows the date fine - Date Taken: 14/07/2004 03:24

Can anyone suggest why its not working as I'm expecting? I just keep getting this error:

user@server1 admin $ perl test.cgi
Content-Type: text/html

No IPTC data found. at test.cgi line 13.


TIA!

Andy
