💖 NAME 💖

Image::ExifTool::Matroska — bestie, this lil module reads meta information out of Matroska files ✨ (and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation squad, iykyk)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Okay so real talk: you don't run this one yourself, she's a supporting character.

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

Periodt. She gets called up by Image::ExifTool when she's needed, and she always delivers 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: this module is literally holding all the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs to read meta information from Matroska multimedia files. Not me being extra, that's just what she does 🫶

The file formats she's obsessed with:

  • MKA — Matroska audio, slay
  • MKV — Matroska video, the main character tbh
  • MKS — Matroska subtitles, quietly iconic
  • WEBM — yes her too, no cap

If your file is one of those four, she's got you. Lowkey the definitions live here so the main Image::ExifTool module can do its thing — she's the backstage crew making the whole show work ✨
