perlquestion dunnyman <p>This is my problem:</p> <code> Failed to open filter FlateDecode (Text::PDF::FlateDecode)</code> <p> This is my @INC </p> <code> /applications/dstio/bin/perl_modules/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi<br> /applications/dstio/bin/perl_modules/lib/site_perl/5.8.2<br> /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi<br> /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.2<br> /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/aix-thread-multi<br> /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.2<br> /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl<br> </code> <p>The code fragment is:<p> <code> my $filt = eval { require Text::PDF::Filter; my $pkg = "Text::PDF::$filtername"; $pkg->new; }; </code> <p> the Text::PDF and CAM::PDF are installed under the second path, but PERL doesn't seem able to find the filtername ... which does exist. </p> <p> Help! The Text::PDF::Filter module contains the Text::PDF::FlateDecode module, but nothing I do seems to invoke the beast. How do I know what paths are being used? How do I get it to work? </p>
