Thank you very much, hippo, I like PDF::Manip a lot. Somehow modules you mentioned slipped my mind, and metacpan's search for "Manipulate" didn't show them in the 1st hundred. Very respectful company for my distribution, then :-). Edit is not so apt, because "editing" may falsely imply the ability to e.g. "search for word 'Perl' and make its font bold-faced". I also see good reasons/logic for having Compat in module's name. Originally I intended (restoring for a moment the previous name-set) to have PDF::CAMPDF::X in Synopsis, etc., and only later/gradually advise to use X2 in new code. For usual/small PDF files, X2 is not much of an advantage, and less confusion to learn the difference. But now I see perhaps you are right, I owe fair amount of explaining to would-be users anyway.
