    You are treating the undefined variable, $pdf, as a blessed object. With no blessings, perl can't locate a method.

    Try this instead, 

    use PDF;
my $pdf = PDF->new($filename);
my $info = $pdf->GetInfo('Title');
print $info, $/;

    PDF::Parse is a utility module of PDF. It does not provide a constructor.
