Hello,

Does anyone have experience trying to do facial recognition in Perl? I've done some previous work with PDL (Perl Data Language) for image analysis, but I'm not sure where to start for this problem.

Searching CPAN and Google, it seems that to get a function to determine similarity between eigenfaces would require me to write the algorithm myself. Has anybody tried solving a similar computer vision problem that could be easily adapted?

I also am considering attempting to integrate the Intel OpenCV or similar library, written in C++. I'd like to avoid this if there is already a prewritten library that I can access in Perl.

Another solution would be to find a "Microsoft" solution, because they tend to have good OLE Automation interfaces, and I could use Win32::OLE for some of that.

Any ideas?
