Re: Error when trying to loop through DB and run a script

in reply to Error when trying to loop through DB and run a script

Turn on warnings, strict and diagnostics and try again. I'll bet perl will give you a few hints.

Update: Ignore this. They were turned on, and I missed 'em.

Reading through the error chain, it seems that the problem might be that main::setImage is passing PDF::API2::image_png an invalid object. (The hint I'm working from is the 'undefined' argument in multiple call levels...)

      You might want to try the perl debugger. I've only used it recently (due to a recent thread about it), and find it very easy to use for problems like this. Just invoke your script like:

      perl -d script_name.pl and then you can set a breakpoints, step through the code, display variable values, etc.
