I know about Fwink from back when I used to use Windows more than any other OS... it was one of the first webcam programs I found for Win32 that aren't instant messengers.
However, the overhead of Fwink (having to send the picture over the network, or saving it to disk first) doesn't make for very easy "streaming" - at the very least the Perl script would need to watch the jpg file on disk for change and have to open/close it over and over to update the Tk image. If Fwink had an option to send the jpegs through standard output it'd be a different story. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
