CPAN module for PDF parsing?

gvr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have two requirements : getting the PDF properties(title, author etc) and extracting files attached to the PDF. I have been using PDF::API2 for that but it does not support PDF 1.5+ (cross reference streams). Is there any other CPAN module(that supports PDF 1.5+) that can be used for PDF parsing?

IIRC (I have not used it extensively), CAM::PDF handles these streams. --MidLifeXis	[reply]
