Hi
I used to use the following to get the xml structure of a PDF file
my $xml = qx/mudraw -ttt $file/;
my $tree = XMLin($xml, ForceArray => [qw/page block line span char/]);
#going through the structure
for my $page (@{$tree->{page}}) {
for my $block (@{$page->{block}}) {
for my $line (@{$block->{line}}) {
for my $span (@{$line->{span}}) {
my $string = join '', map {$_->{c}} @{$span->{char}};
#... do my stuff
}
}
}
$page_index ++
}
I need to drop mudrow now! Is there an alternative to get $xml? At best a pure Perl solution? I could find anything searching the web :(

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
