Hi all,

Mac OS 10.5, ActivePerl 5.10. (I wouldn't have chosen a Mac, but it wasn't my choice....)

The following two lines of code:

use PDF::Create;
my $pdf = new PDF::Create('filename' => 'out.pdf', 'Version' => 1.3);
[download]

gives me the following error:

$ perl pdftest.txtPDF::Create.pm: out.pdf: Permission denied
 at pdftest.txt line 2
Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at .../lib/PDF/Crea
+te.pm line 76.

PDF::Create source code's constructor code includes the following:

72  elsif (defined $params{'filename'}) {
73    $self->{'filename'} = $params{'filename'};
74    my $fh = new FileHandle "> $self->{'filename'}";
75    carp "PDF::Create.pm: $self->{'filename'}: $!\n" unless defined 
+$fh;
76    binmode $fh;
77    $self->{'fh'} = $fh;
78  }

Anyhow, how do I get the OS to permit creation of a new PDF file? Some sort of 'sudo' dropped into my code somewhere? Or am I more lost than I guess?

Forever a newbie,

cypress
