I am working on a new perl module to create and scan barcodes. The
curent version can create a Code 128 barcode as a png file and has a
rudimentary decoder class for the :Cue:Cat scanner available from
RadioShack for free. The decoder only works at a text console if you are
using a *nix operating system due to the way X-windows captures console
input, but should be OK on Win32 systems (haven't tested it though). The
next version will use a kernel patch to capture the scan data to
eliminate that problem on linux systems. You can download the module at
ftp://www.b-wdesigngroup.com/pub/perl/
