Hi
Because new Image::EXIF('problemfile.jpg') calls exit not die, it is
untrappable.
This is a shame because Image::EXIF does lots of validity tests that
would otherwise have to be repeated before Image::EXIF is called. Or it
would have to be called with a fork() which is v. messy.
use Image::EXIF;
my $file = "broken_jpeg.jpg";
my $exif=new Image::EXIF;
eval { $exif->file_name($file); };
if ($@)
{
print STDERR "problem with $file\n";
# ... this code never gets called.
}
Thanks
Rich.
