Re^3: Image processing in perl

You should use strict;. Had you done so you would realize that %OPTIONS doesn't exist, which is a clue that your expectation that $OPTIONS{multiple} = 1; is doing something is wrong.

The POD for that module is simply awful. However, I think if you alter your match() call as follows, you'll have better luck:

my( @matches ) = $sample->match($reference, {multiple => 1});

You should find @matches to now be populated with an array of arrays representing the XY coordinates of each match.

Whoever wrote that POD should be shot though (with a water pistol, of course). I would have to read the module's actual code to be sure that my suggestion even fits.

Well, three suggestions I have: (1) Look at the code of the module itself and determine how it reads the parameters so that you can massage your request to fit within what its method is expecting. (2) Look at the code of the module itself for an example of how to roll your own solution that works as you would prefer it to. (3) If the module's code is broken, get in touch with the module's author and help out by submitting a patch to him. Option one or two are probably the easiest. The module's deficient POD does suggest that it's possible to get a list of all matches, so it's probably just a matter of looking at how the module expects you to properly request a list of all matches versus first match only. For that you'll have to take a look at the module's code, as the POD is not thorough enough to explain what is required. Dave	[reply]
