Here is a sample of what I am going nuts trying to do, I would like to have the first column "Content 1" to be a link.
If I run with the code you mentioned here it will generate an error, I am still lost.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
use PDF::API2;
use PDF::API2::Annotation;
use PDF::Table;

 my $pdftable = new PDF::Table;
 my $pdf = new PDF::API2(-file => "M:\\pdf\\table-1.pdf");
    $pdf->preferences(
                       -thumbs => 1,
                 );

 my $page = $pdf->page;
    $page->gfx;
    $page->mediabox(792,612);

 # some data to layout
 my $some_data =[
