That should have worked.

That should *not* have worked.

Not so. Looks to me that the author has ignored certain conventions. If the
package is named 'PDF::Xtract' you have every right to expect that
'Xtract.pm' will be installed into 'perl/site/lib/PDF' and that you will
'use PDF::Xtract;'. Furthermore, you'll also find a 'perl/site/lib/PDF.pm'
is installed - another thing that ought not happen.

I think the latest version on cpan (0.08 - as opposed to the 0.02 version
that ppm provides) addresses those issues. Unfortunately I couldn't verify
that by actually building PDF::Xtract-0.08 from source, as the tarball I
downloaded seems to be corrupted.

Cheers,
Rob
