Hello monks, So i have the following problem I've oppened a pdf file and want to write QRCODE in it , but the thing is that it should be without saving picture on the hard drive. 
my $pdf=PDF::API2->open("$data/$pdfsource");
y $page = $pdf->openpage('1');
my $gfx=$page->gfx();

I've used Imager::QRCode 
  my $qrcode = Imager::QRCode->new(
                size          => 8,
                margin        => 1,
                version       => 1,
                level         => 'M',
                casesensitive => 1,
                lightcolor    => Imager::Color->new(255, 255, 255),
                darkcolor     => Imager::Color->new(0, 0, 0),
            );
            my $img = $qrcode->plot("$mylink");
   
            $img->write(data => \$result, type => 'png')
             or die 'Cannot save \'png\': ', $img->errstr;

And i want to write in the pdf without saving in on the hard so i've tried something like this : 
    my $png1 = $pdf->image_png($result);
    $gfx->image($png1 ,590,140,7);
    
    my $png2 = $pdf->image_png($img);
    $gfx->image($png2 ,590,140,7);

I think it doesn't recognize it as picture and can't read the metadata. The following error is an't call method "val" on an undefined value at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/PDF/API2/Resource/XObject/Image.pm line 66 Thank you and waiting for ideas. Best regards.
