    use Barcode::ZBar;
    
    my $reader = Barcode::ZBar::Processor->new();
    $reader->init();
    $reader->set_data_handler(\&my_handler);

scan an image:

    my $image = Barcode::ZBar::Image->new();
    $image->set_format('422P');
    $image->set_size(114, 80);
    $image->set_data($raw_bits);
    $reader->process_image($image);

scan from video:

    $reader->set_visible();
    $reader->set_active();
    $reader->user_wait();

collect results:

    my @symbols = $image->get_symbols();
    foreach my $sym (@symbols) {
        print("decoded: " . $sym->get_type() . ":" . $sym->get_data());
    }

DESCRIPTION

The ZBar Bar Code Reader is a library for scanning and decoding bar codes from various sources such as video streams, image files or raw intensity sensors. It supports EAN-13/UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 93, Code 39, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5 and QR Code.

These are the bindings for interacting directly with the library from Perl.
