Re: Opencv and Perl on Raspberry Pi 3 (Raspbian)

[wjw]

A search on mcpan shows only 4 modules directly related to opencv. I would take a look on there first and see if any of those modules might offer up something close to what you need.

Then I would ensure that they are available for RPi.

Assuming the first two things are affirmative, I would then examine your project design (hardware and software) and examine exactly what you want Perl to do.

This sounds like a fairly involved project, and that makes it a good one. But if you are diving into a new language, expect to have to 'use and learn the basics' at the start of the project. Perl is a fantastic language and it works well on the RPi(I use it on a couple of mine). Just know thqt not everything available on a larger compute platform is available on the RPi, and that might give you some hints as to whether or not your project is a good fit for Perl. (Perl is way cool, but not the answer to everything, or at least not the best answer to everything).

Hope you find something useful in this. And best of luck on your project! Sounds like an excellent one!
