Have you checked that you get the correct data and can print it to the screen instead of a PDF file?

use strict;
use PDF::API2::Simple;

my %data = (...);

#my $pdf = PDF::API2::Simple->new( file => 'file.pdf' } 
foreach my $keys( sort { $data{$a} <=> $data{$b}} keys %data ){
    print $data{$keys}{'Name'}, "\n";
}

The next thing would be to check that you can actually print to the PDF file. Try printing a plain list to a PDF file:

use strict;
use PDF::API2::Simple;

my @names = (Diana Bruce Clark);

my $pdf = PDF::API2::Simple->new( file => 'file.pdf' } 
foreach my $name( @names ){
     $pdf->text($name}); 
}

One of the two programs should work for you and should help you determine where your problem lies, in the data or in writing the data to the PDF.
