Yes, I have used the video::capture::v4l module with success to manipulate the capturing - my problem lies in the length of time it takes to filter the data for motion detection in perl. It just does not compare to the speed of C or XS based modules (which are not available) for manipulating graphics. Oh well, I guess what I am hearing is that unless I learn C, I am stuck! Was hoping for an easy way out though ;) Thanks -Greg On Sat, 26 Oct 2002 10:15:56 -0400 (EDT) Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I cannot find anywhere, but thought I would ask anyhow.
