+Ever wish you add information to your photos like a caption, the place
+you took it, the date, and perhaps even keywords and categories? You
+already can. The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC)
+defines a format for exchanging meta-information in news content, and
+that includes photographs. You can embed all kinds of information in
+your images. The trick is putting it to use.
+
+That's where this IPTCInfo Perl module comes into play. You can embed
+information using many programs, including Adobe Photoshop, and
+IPTCInfo will let your web server -- and other automated server
+programs -- pull it back out. You can use the information directly in
+Perl programs, export it to XML, or even export SQL statements ready
+to be fed into a database.
