NAME

6       Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML - Read/write tag information XML database
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This module is used to generate an XML database from all ExifTool tag
10       information.  The XML database may then be edited and used to re-
11       generate the language modules (Image::ExifTool::Lang::*).
