Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the pdf hashes via a JohnTheRipper script, which can be found at (can't link it - get "permission denied") magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/bleeding-jumbo/run/pdf2john.pl under raw.githubusercontent.com

I have media-libs/exiftool-11.29 installed in the standard destination for my distribution (and media-libs/libexif-0.6.21-r2 installed, as well).

The relevant part of the environment: 

$ perl -V

[...]

  @INC:
    /etc/perl
    /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.26.2/x86_64-linux
    /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.26.2
    /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.2/x86_64-linux
    /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.2
    /usr/local/lib64/perl5
    /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
    /usr/lib64/perl5/5.26.2/x86_64-linux
    /usr/lib64/perl5/5.26.2

The location of the module: 
$ ls -al /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.2/Image/
total 468

The initial error: 
$ perl pdf2john.pl file.pdf
Can't locate ExifTool.pm in @INC (you may need to install the ExifTool

Of course, I did some searching before coming here, and found a suggested fix: 
$ perl -I /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.2/Image/ pdf2john.pl file.
+pdf

At this point, I am completely baffled as to why ExifTool can't find the "new" method.

Any idea what is going on? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
