the Ubuntu said I have installed PDF::API but it still cannot find the command. I use the PDF::apI2 in Perl but it also said there is no PDF::API2 package. could you tell me why?

I notice that you said you had the line: `use PDF::apI2` Perl is case sensitive, so you must instead use: `use PDF::API2;` I'm not saying this is your only problem, but it would also be a show-stopper. If you want to verify that you have installed PDF::API2, you could go to a terminal window and type: `perldoc PDF::API2` You would then be able to view the documentation for that module.

It would help if you posted the content of your perl.pl program. If perl.pl line 1 is generating the error, I'd guess that line 1 is something like `$something = PDF::API2->new(...);`. The Perl compiler is telling you that there is no `use PDF::API2;` prior to calling a PDF::API2 method. See use for more info.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
