Fun with QR Codes and Perl
Short blog today, but cool tech. I've been playing around with 2D barcodes recently, and have just pushed a Perl Tip on generating QR Codes with Perl. Given how incredibly easy this is, I'm tempted to generate huge numbers of these and go sticking them around town for my own nefarious purposes. ;)

Data Matrix is quite interesting too

Personally I find Data Matrix more interesting. It's used in more places (at least here in Europe, as far as I can tell) than QRCode. I don't particularly like the large finder patterns in QRCode, but then again, that's where the "QR" (quick response) in the name comes from.

It'd be nice if these modules supported Micro QR.

I'll also have to get my Data Matrix generating code onto CPAN at some point, so thanks for the indirect reminder.
