I spent a few days brute forcing tables before I came across your repo and it finally clicked what was actually going on; thank you so much!

Would this require using the WASIX libc? I didn’t spend much time on it, but when I attempted to use it the build started failing in mysterious ways - happy to open an issue on the relevant repo with a reproduction / notes on what I think our some bugs.

You cannot today build anything on the Blead of Perl with perlcc.

Support has languished because the language changed fast enough that it never kept up. It may be used in the industry, but for a modern Perl application (or anything past 5.10) it won’t work. Hence why it was removed.

I’m not sure where you got the idea it’s slow, but it executes within 30% of native speed. Which means extracting the metadata from a 30 GB pro video in my test takes 300-400ms.

Speaking of - libexif doesn’t support a lot of file formats, whereas ExifTool does.

If I always opt to choose the easiest path then I’m setting a precedent for myself that I will compromise on all my goals for half finished solutions that take me further from initial idea.
