Dear Monks,

I have 100's of pdf files and would like to get the total page count. I tried using:
http://search.cpan.org/~antro/PDF-111/PDF.pm

but get the following error. 
PDF::Core::PDFGetPrimitive() called too early to check prototype at /u
+sr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PDF/Core.pm line 288.
PDF::Core::PDFGetPrimitive() called too early to check prototype at /u
+sr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PDF/Core.pm line 294.
Can't read cross-reference section, according to trailer

Here was my code: 
use PDF;

$pdf=PDF->new("file.pdf");
print "Has ",$pdf->Pages," Pages \n";

[download]
Could someone please offer assistance? Many thanks!
