Fellow monks,

Is anyone out there using PDF::API2 with ActiveState 5.6? I'm trying to use the module to place some graphics in a PDF file and it keeps bombing even before I've coded anything to access it!

I've got the following code thusfar: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use LWP;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use PDF::API2;
use Image::Info;
use File::Spec;

my $queryString;
my @queryString;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST")
        { read(STDIN, $queryString, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
        @queryString=split(/&/,$queryString);
        print @queryString;
        }

and I'm getting the following error message when I try to test run it:

Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at C:/Perl/site/lib/PDF/API2/PDF/Dict.pm line 17.

Has anyone else run in to this problem? If so, how did you cure it?

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.
