Problem loading PDF::CreateSimple

u671296 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, Trying to load PDF::CreateSimple on a Unix system and i get the following error.

perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
lib/PDF/CreateSimple.pm
Please inform the author.
Warning: prerequisite Error 0.15 not found.
Could not open 'lib/PDF/CreateSimple.pm': No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 3090.

Does anybody know how to solve it ?

This is the first module I've evere tried to load, so please spell out any solution.

Thanks.

Hi u671296 I've never used PDF::CreateSimple but the Makefile.PL shows that Error is required. You could try installing that. Also see Yes, even you can use CPAN along with Installing Modules from the tutorials section of this site. Hope this helps Martin	[reply]

Oh yes ! that helps. I hadn't realised Error was a module, just thought it was part of an error (lowercase) message. Thanks I'll give that a go.	[reply]

Two steps are required Install module Error (at least version 0.15) Reorganize files after unpacking from archive. File `CreateSimple.pm` should be moved to subdirectory `lib/PDF`. Original archive structure is `PDF/ PDF/CreateSimple/ PDF/CreateSimple/README PDF/CreateSimple/Makefile.PL PDF/CreateSimple/MANIFEST PDF/CreateSimple/Changes PDF/CreateSimple/CreateSimple.pm~ PDF/CreateSimple/CreateSimple.pm` [download] so change working directory to `PDF/CreateSimple/`, create `lib/PDF` subdirectory and move `CreateSimple.pm` into it. After completing these steps you should be able to install module using commands: `perl Makefile.PL make && make install` [download] You do not need to bother with `make test` because there are no tests defined for this module.

Thanks everybody. The module is working fine. Now I just need to work out how to use it.	[reply]
