Hi Mark, The new Wx::PdfDocument has been working beautifully for a while, then I decided to roll out to some other machines and experienced some problems. Here they are:
1) I had an old Wx installation which had been installed with Alien-wxWidgets and I upgraded with: cpan -i Text::Patch cpan -i Wx::PdfDocument It said the install was too old and upgraded the 2.8.11 Wx::Perl to 2.9.3 and ignored my wxWidgets installation. I deleted everything and reinstalled with: #!/bin/sh # # Reinstall Wx::Perl - first reinstall wxWidgets # cd ~ # Remove previous version rm -rf Alien-wxWidgets # Download current version svn co https://wxperl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wxperl/Alien-wxWidgets/trunk Alien-wxWidgets # Switch to Alien directory cd Alien-wxWidgets # Create build script wxWidgets 2.8.11 perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-extraflags="--enable-graphics_ctx --disable-compat26 --enable-mediactrl --with-libjpeg=builtin --with-libpng=builtin --with-regex=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin --with-zlib=builtin --with-expat=builtin --with-libxpm=builtin --with-gnome-print --with-gnomeprintui" --wxWidgets-build='yes' --wxWidgets-source='tar.gz' --wxWidgets-unicode=1 --wx-unicode='yes' --wxWidgets-build-opengl=0 --wxWidgets-version=2.8.11 perl Build # Download and compile wxWidgets. perl Build install ldconfig cd .. # Reinstall wxPerl rm -rf /home/image/wxPerl svn co https://wxperl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wxperl/wxPerl/trunk /home/image/wxPerl cd /home/image/wxPerl perl Makefile.PL make perl Build install # Install predecessor for Wx::PdfDocuments cpan -i Text::Patch cpan -i Wx::PdfDocuments But it never uninstalled the 2.9.3 and everything got confused. In the end I did a clean rebuild of Kubuntu 11.10 reran the script above and everything worked fine, I wounder if there could be some sort of warning here or question here and the user given the option to manually upgrade his installation with his own version of Alien? 2) I had a pre-release Wx::PdfDocument test installation. I re-ran the above script and the issue seems to be that the old binary has not been removed or over-written and also occurs earlier in $PATH. The I get: Undefined subroutine &Wx::PdfDocument::PaperDatabase::GetDefaultPaper called at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.12.4/Wx/PdfDocument/SetupInfo.pm line 283. I can do a total rebuild, but how hard would it be to unpick manually? Thanks and regards.
