Re^6: CAM::PDF w/ Text::PDF::FlateDecode

The standard order you refer to is true in Linux installation of Perl (or in own-compiled installations of perl)
As I told you, I have Activeperl on Windows XP v5.10.0 build 1003 285500; as you can see also in this post http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=704795 in Activeperl the order of the content of @INC is:

C:\>perl -le "print for @INC"
C:/Perl/site/lib
C:/Perl/lib
.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE TO THE PROBLEM WITH CAM-PDF I've asked advice to the CAM-PDF author and he put me on the right way by saying that this error with CAM-PDF: `Failed to open filter FlateDecode (Text::PDF::FlateDecode) Unrecognized type in parseAny: 1 £ý¢-«ý-_ØÎ_O_:÷n£Õ-¦ê¦H¸l-0á×ÁÄ[éåtu!-...` [download] ... is FAULT of Compress::Zlib module. Actually I had Compress::Zlib installed, in spite of it not being a dependency of CAM-PDF. I installed Compress::Zlib since it was a dependency of PDF-API2 module, another module to handle pdf files, but I've never been able to use PDF-API2 due to some errors. So I've tried to uninstall PDF-API2 and Compress::Zlib and, magic, THE ERROR WITH CAM-PDF HAS DISAPPEARED AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.	[reply] [d/l]

I am a novice perl user. I'm confused. I've downloaded CAM-PDF-1.52 and Crypt-RC4-2.02. I still get the noted error message about ThateDecode. So I downloaded Text-PDF-0.29 which has a dependency for IO-Compress-2.027. I downloaded the dependencies for IO-Compress-2.027 as well. I still get the error. This is a huge brick wall for me and I'd appreciate any help in climbing over it. The perl script that I downloaded to read the text of the PDF is: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use CAM::PDF; # Name of the Perl Module use CAM::PDF::Content; # Name of the Perl Module my $file_name = shift; my @lines; my $pdf = CAM::PDF->new($file_name); for my $page (1 .. $pdf->numPages()) { my $text = $pdf->getPageText($page); @lines = split (/\n/, $text); foreach (@lines) { print "$_\n"; } } Currently Compress::Zlib is uninstalled.
