Re^2: CPAN module for Picture Transfer Protocol ?

I think you have miss-understood what PTP is. It is not the same as USB mass storage. Different cameras prefer one protocol over the other when they are connected to a PC.

I have edited my original post to add some clarification.

I don't need to to use low level access to the USB device using pack or suchlike, libgphoto2 provides an abstraction layer, but it is a C library. My question is are there perl bindings available for that library?

My question is are there perl bindings available for that library? Searching for "libgphoto2 perl" brings up `RPM Search Mandriva 2009 camdump-1.01-0.13mdv2008.1.i586.rpm Content of RPM : /etc/camdump /etc/dynamic/hooks/camdump.hook /usr/bin +/camdump /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/au +to/gphoto2_perl/libgphoto2_perl.so rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/9472588/dir//com...` [download] So some bindings existed at some point. But i think, since there is a cli interface, there is no reason to bind :)	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for that tip. I guess my next step is to download the rpm, extract the contents and see what I find. Hopefully there will be a still working email address for the author. I have already been able to download the source code of the rpm package.	[reply]
