in reply to error message from GD::Barcode::Code39 module

I think you'll find that the error message means just what it says...
and that you'll need to make-install GD::Font.

You may find essentially this answer, phrased as a description of a dependancy, in the GD::Barcode::Code39 pos

Generally, I think you'll find perl's error messages fairly straight forward... despite the fact that some are a ...er ...ah... um, a tad arcane.

    I see the 111 row and this is the code 
      else {
        my($fW,$fH) = (GD::Font->Small->width, GD::Font->Small->height
+);
        my $iWidth = length($sPtn);
        #Bar Image
        ($oGd, $cBlack) = GD::Barcode::plot($sPtn, $iWidth, $iHeight, 
+$fH, 0);

        #String
        $oGd->string(GD::Font->Small, (length($sPtn)-$fW*(length($sTxt
+Wk)))/2, $iHeight - $fH,
                        $sTxtWk, $cBlack);
  }

    As you see on code there is a GD::Font setting. Is for this question wich I search GD::Font module, but I doesn't exist on CPAN site. :(

      At that point, Google is your friend:
      Module Gd.Font ( http://gushee.net/matt/software/gd4o/doc/Gd.Font.html )

      and -- as alternates -- read "GD::Text" (UWinnipeg) and "GD::Simple" (CPAN, Lincoln Stein) UpdateThanks, monarch, for noting bad link...
            but :-( after chasing the "gushee.net" links, I'm not so sure it's useful!
