in reply to What Perl module will help me extract the text from a PDF file?

PDF::Parse is the one most recommended. PDF::Reuse is also good, but for a different purpose. If you are willing to wade through a little code, PDF::API2 is the swiss-army knife for Perl/PDF work. It does require some knowledge of the PDF format, though.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
