Bug #53552 for OpenOffice-OODoc: Error opening a file with a path

Sat Jan 09 15:05:34 2010 support1 [...] thetabiz.com - Ticket created

In man page it is explained that this works: use OpenOffice::OODoc; my $document = odfDocument(file => "MyFile.odt"); And that does work. For example: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; use OpenOffice::OODoc; my $document = odfDocument(file => "Template.odt"); But if I put full path instead of Template.odt, I get error: Can't call method "isa" without a package or object reference at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/OpenOffice/OODoc/File.pm line 362.

Error opening file with path

Thanks for your report. The bug is now located and will be fixed ASAP. Knowing that the bug is in the OpenOffice::OODoc::File submodule, there is a possible temporary workaround in the mean time. This workaround consists of using the File.pm submodule of the previous version. To install it, follow the instructions below: 1) Locate your OpenOffice::OODoc installation path (using, for example, the oodoc_version command line utility) and look for "File.pm" (it's ID string should be "File.pm 2.201 2009-06-06"); 2) Download the previous version of this submodule at http://search.cpan.org/src/JMGDOC/OpenOffice-OODoc-2.108/OODoc/File.pm 3) Check the ID of the downloaded file, that should be "File.pm 2.118 2009-01-30"; 4) Replace the current File.pm (2.201) by the previous one (2.118); 5) Please let me know if it works.

*IMPORTANT* The workaround proposed in my previous message requires a small other change: Edit OOdoc.pm (in the directory just above the one that contains File.pm), get the line #10 and replace "2.201" by "2.118", in order to allow the use of a previous version of File.pm.
