It's not part of CPAN, but on the recommendations of several monks, I had a lot of success using pdftotext, part of the <A HREF="http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/">XPDF</A> open source project. It allows you to extract text from pdf to an ascii format,<P>
Your mileage may vary, of course, depending on what you want/need to do, but if you are doing text extractions, I heartily recommend pdftotext.<P>
