Hi all,

I encountered problems installing and using PDF::API2. My hosting server has the following OS and architecture:

  Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7
            Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64
      Architecture: x86-64
[download]

The steps I had taken to install PDF::API2 were (after logging in as a user using PUTTY):

[user@web100 ~]$ cd $HOME/bin
[user@web100 ~ bin]$ cpanm PDF::API2

When I tried to use PDF-API2, I got the following error:

Attempt to reload Compress/Zlib.pm aborted.

Is it because PDF::API2 was not properly installed (because it was installed with --force)? Or there's something wrong with Zlib.pm?

Please enlighten me :)
