in thread PDF::Create Questions

My apologies. I let my frustration get the better of me sometimes. Appreciate the patience.

I can easily create a file using this:
my $pdf = new PDF::Create ('filename' => '../html/logs/mypdf.pdf', 'PageMode' => 'UseNone', 'Title' => 'Anything', );
If I use this:
my $pdf = new PDF::Create "> ('filename' => '../html/logs/mypdf.pdf', 'PageMode' => 'UseNone', 'Title' => 'Anything', )";
It doesn't create a pdf. And it doesn't overwrite the existing one. I tried using a local directory and it made no difference.

This is the error message I get when I run the second piece of code.

Odd number of elements in hash assignment at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/PDF/Create.pm line 28.

When I placed the '>' symbol in different parts of the line I would get 'syntax error in line ...... around '>'.."

I know I'm missing something small here, and I just can't seem to find it. Any ideas are welcome. (Except "don't quit your day job"!) I like learning Perl!
