🎀 NAME 🎀

Video::Capture::V4l — a Perl interface to the Video4linux framegrabber interface. no cap, that's the whole thing.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Video::Capture::V4l;

that's it bestie. one line. iconic.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so. not documentation AGAIN! 😭 literally the manpage itself is out here telling you it does not want to be a manpage.

so here's the tea: go look at the scripts grab, inexer or vbi that are packaged in the distribution. those are your besties here.

and any question, any feature request, any bug report? send them directly to the author. not to the void. not to the manpage. to the author. fr fr. 🫶
