How to create metadata for jpeg images in xp

I have an archive of Dilbert's cartoons and I would like to organize them in such a way that I can find the one I want based on something in the keyword search order.

I'm looking for suggestions for a sane way to accomplish this programmatically. I'm leaning towards perl for implementation.

Personally, as a Perl fan, I would use Image :: Metadata :: JPEG. However, there are many libraries for doing this type.

If you're looking for a program to do this, I know Photoshop can, and I'm sure there are other editors (The Gimp) that might as well.



I'm not sure if you are looking for an image search solution, but there are many photo archiving programs out there that will let you tag and search in them. Picassa comes to mind.

This is an edge-of-programming question, isn't it? Well, for such a task, I would recommend ExifTool , which is a standalone program (hand made), as well as a Perl library, so I stay in the SO area ...
Despite the name, it handles almost all metadata, Exif of course, but also IPTC (what you are looking for) and ID3 (yes, for MP3).
