Hi there, This is my first post on any perl mailinglist. I have been learning perl lately using Oreilly's "Learning Perl 4th edition" I am now going through "Intermediate perl".
for my graduation I am trying to write a progam that will read data from the serial port (/dev/ttyS*). This data is coming from four weight sensors in a fource plate. In the mean time I want to make some video recording of what happens on the force plate. With that data I will be able to link the movement of the center of gravity to whatever happens on the force plate. I can already read the data from the serial port. But I dont understand how to capture video (or some images) via an usb camera. I have been searching to CPAN and have the Device::USB module installed. but haven't found any tutorial or information on how to get video from a camera. I don't need many frames a second (somewhere between 3 to 5 frames a second should suffice) so I think a webcam is already good enough for me. hopefully someone can direct me in the right direction. Thanks already Herman Gerritsen
