In my last camera related post before I actually get something working, I can finally say I've had some progress. I mostly figured out the Video::Capture::V4l stuff, and now have a script that grabs the raw BGR data from there and writes out a PPM file (because it's the simplest image format I could find). Now I just need to get Imlib2_perl to support Imlib2::create_image_from_data so I can do the rest of my fun without ever having the image leave memory.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
