in reply to PDF via Perl?

Thanks everyone for your posts. Apparently my search was not that productive. I never think about search.cpan.org but or course I will next time. Somewhat in my defense I went to: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/ as I always do, and the PDF module is not listed there. But the Text::PDF, which I didnt think to look for, is there.

Hopefully at least one of the modules will be functional.

    If you ever get a chance, you should check out the CPAN.pm module. I personally hate it but I still use it to search for modules every now and then. It even lets you do regex searches for modules ;) but it never seems to install the modules correctly so I still do it by hand.

      I live by CPAN.pm, it is awesome. I just didn't try 
      perl -MCPAN -e "install 'PDF'"

      But now that I am looking at the modules they dont look to useful. They seem to be total alpha modules basically for reading pdf files. I dont see yet how to create one from scratch, although Text::PDF claims to be able to. And I dont see any examples yet. I am going to keep hacking.
