Bar code scanners

[Matthew Sackman <matthew@sackman.co.uk>]

Dear all!

I have been asked to start looking into providing an EPOS system for the shop
that I work at. I am hoping to be able to develop all the software myself
(using Perl and the GTK+ bindings). However, I have no idea about how well or
otherwise bar code scanners work under Linux.

Does anyone have any information as to which scanners are particularly good/bad
and how they should be connected etc etc, and the same for cash-drawer
triggers?

Any info is very gratefully received.

Matthew
