I am trying to catalog a directory of PDF's and I am using the PDF (http://search.cpan.org/author/ANTRO/PDF-111/) module to parse each document and get the number of pages. I set up this simple test script which works fine.... 

use PDF;


my $pdf=PDF->new('bop032.pdf');

print "This PDF has ",$pdf->Pages," Pages \n";

[download]


When I try to incorporate the above snippet into something more useful that uses other modules etc. I get the following error

Can't locate object method "new" via package "IO::Handle" (perhaps you forgot to load "IO::Handle"?) at insert_pdf.pl line 12.

Am I missing something fundamental about the use of Perl modules or is there something awry with my use of this particular one?????

Cheers
