GTKSetPWC : a GUI for setpwc

About

gtk-setpwc is a GTK2 frontend (written in perl) for the setpwc CLI software used to configure various options on webcam using pwc driver

i made it because i think setpwc is very obscure to use, getting value, setting value, testing value is really unterminable, and also because i didn't wan't to remember all setpwc switches, as i was'nt using it often

The other interest in coding this software was learning perl (i just made some little scripts) and GTK2-perl

Please keep in mind, that it's a pre-alpha release, tested only on my machines (AMD64 and centrino under gentoo linux) and only with setpwc 0.9 and 1.1. Fortunately, it shouldn't hurt your hardware as setpwc is stable software

FAQ

It doesn't work: Make sure you have GTK2-Perl installed, ask your package-manager (apt, yum, urpm, emerge, etc ...); Of course, it's only a frontend, it requires setpwc (see links); Contact me and explain me what you have done and what your system returns
