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/

I just uploaded version 1.2 of Barcode.pm to the ftp server at
ftp://www.b-wdesigngroup.com/pub/perl/Barcode-1.2.tar.gz

This revision adds method kdecode to class CueCat to utilize
Pierre-Phillipe Coupard's linux kernel driver.

I just posted version 1.3 of Barcode.pm which adds a class method to
extract the ISBN number and calculate the checksum for an ISBN barcode.

Just uploaded version 1.5 which adds method CueCat->encode to re-encode
data into the Cat scan format. Users of the linux kernel driver can now
get data from the driver and re-encode it into the original form in
order to call CueCat->get_dc_cue and return a url.
