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

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.
