I saw File::Extract::PDF ?
If you've scanned it, chances are the PDF doesn't contain any text that
you can extract. It will just be 1 image per page. You have to do OCR on
it ... and possibly convert the PDF into TIFF of jpeg images or
something first. There are a number of open-source OCR engines around,
including one that IBM bought and open-sourced. I haven't look at any of
them in years though, so I don't know what state they're in.
