I, too, have this problem. Looking at the PDF Object, the content is blank: $VAR1 = bless( { 'content' => \'' }, 'HTML::HTMLDoc::PDF' ); Could this be an issue of permissions? -Ben On Tue Apr 22 07:13:06 2008, Rajasekhar.Konda@Honeywell.com wrote: Show quoted text

I found a "fix" to my problem. Since this is changing the normal operation of the module, I cannot endorse this modification, nor am I responsible for any mishaps from making a similar change. Use at your own risk! $htmldoc = new HTML::HTMLDoc(); $htmldoc->{config}{mode} = 'ipd'; This changes the mode from 'ipc' to something else (in this case, 'ipd'), so the system call to htmldoc is handled differently. Again, unless somebody with better Perl kung fu than I approves of this, you are using this 'fix' at your own risk!

Hey Ben, You can do the same using the constructor options: http://search.cpan.org/~mfrankl/HTML-HTMLDoc-0.10/lib/HTML/HTMLDoc.pm#new%28%29 like this: $htmldoc = new HTML::HTMLDoc(mode=>'file');
