CAM::PDF renderer.pl problems with Text.pm

I'm making slow but steady progress with my CAM::PDF project. Currently
trying to execute one of the example scripts called "renderer.pl", which
will produce various renditions of an input pdf file. The 'renderer='
command line option specifies the type of output desired. In my case I want
text. Running the command with --renderer=Text produces an error message...

perl "C:\Perl\bin\renderpdf.pl" "C:\CHECK-1.pdf --renderer=Text 1
"C:\CHECK-1-rendered"
Can't locate Text.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:\Program Files\ActiveState
Perl D
ev Kit 6.0\lib\ C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at (eval 3) line 3.

I found a file called Text.pm in C:\Perl\site\lib\CAM\PDF\Renderer. As a
temporary workaround attempt, I copied Text.pm into C:/Perl/site/lib. Now
when I run renderpdf.pl (same command line as above), I get

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Text" at
C:/Perl/site/lib/CAM/PDF/
Content.pm line 522.

Perhaps I have something installed improperly? Can someone recommend other
troubleshooting steps? BTW, if I run the command with NO renderer= option
specified, I get the deafult output "Dump". Output looks OK -- as far as I
can tell -- no error message.

TIA, Phil

A quick look at the documentation for that script includes the lines:

renderpdf.pl [options] infile.pdf []
Options:
-r --renderer=3Dclass uses this renderer class (default:
CAM::PDF::Renderer::Dump)

which suggests to me that the command line option should probably be
--renderer=3DCAM::PDF::Renderer::Text. That is, it expects the name of the
rendering class in full. Also, your command line doesn't look right -
unmatched quotes, and parameters seem to be in the wrong order

BTW, don't forget to remove that copy of Text.pm that you made. You can
really screw up your Perl installation doing things like that.
