Looks like the PDF modules have a problem anyway - whatever PDF file I run them against, I get this error :-
ALPHA_ROB$ PERl sys$login:ROB2.TMP hello_pdf.pdf Can't read cross-reference section, according to trailer (File taken from http://www.siberix.com/pdf/samples/hello_pdf.pdf) -----Original Message----- From: Craig A.

The documentation is wrong, which is where he got the erroneous plural. The synopsis section of the documentation also fails to include a C<use DCLsym;> line. The module is really pretty simple to use as the following one-line example illustrates: $ perl -e "use VMS::DCLsym; $h = new VMS::DCLsym; $h->setsym('foo','bar','GLOBAL');" $ show symbol/global foo FOO == "bar" $ BTW, VMS::DCLsym has been part of the core distribution for a long time, so there's no need to download anything from CPAN. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
