Re: repeated merging of PDF-Files

Where is $pdf created? You're not showing all the relevant code ...
Why are you using global variables? Why aren't you using strict?
What happens when you try and merge three files at one time, as your code seems to be able to do?

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.

1) $pdf is an PDF::API2-object that is created outside the subroutine as a package-global. 2) I don´t consider globals to be bad in short scripts. I am using strict, but i did post only the relevant subroutine. 3) The same thing. The error does not relate to the number of documents. 4) I will update my code-section. holli, regexed monk	[reply]

Ok ... This sounds like a bug in PDF::API2. I would build a test case with 4 very simple PDF files and open a bug at http://rt.cpan.org. It's a very interesting bug, I'll say that ...
