Did you try to compile your perl script (using perlapp) ?
Did it work correctly?

Mine isn't as far as is looking for

Tk::Error: Can't locate PDF/API2/TTF/Table.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
C:\DOCUME~
1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\pdk-Administrator-1496\ C:\progs\Canvas) at
/PerlApp/PD
F/API2/TTF/Font.pm line 333.

Possibly, because i have set pdf font arial.ttf (arial.ttf is in my current
directory)
