Trying to hide from the Cloud

I'm trying to get Plync to work with my Nexus 7, mainly because I want non-Google calendar synchronization between my mobile, my desktop and this shiny toy.

Your Perl-driven cyborgs can soon recognize objects

I've made some progress in getting ccv to compile under Windows. Now I can start with opening up the API and writing some XS for it. Soon, the below image can be created completely from within Perl instead of using a shell call out to the executable to find "interesting" points in the object and the scene and match them together.
