I think the font directory should not be part of the fontname in ->ttfont(...)  (update: actually, it doesn't matter, both work... but then you wouldn't need to use addFontDirs() ).

This works for me: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use PDF::API2;

PDF::API2::addFontDirs('/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Resource/Font');

my $pdf  = PDF::API2->new();
my $page = $pdf->page();
my $text = $page->text();

my $font = $pdf->ttfont('MyriadPro-Regular.otf', -encoding => 'latin1'
+);

$text->font($font, 12);
$text->translate(100, 100);
$text->text('Hello World');

$pdf->saveas("hello.pdf");

Which error(s) are you getting? What exactly doesn't work, i.e. what does happen?
