most useless error message in the world - PDF::Create

[jez]

Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at /lib/PDF/Create.pm line 56.

I am trying to create a PDF.
I have tested my basic script and now i am trying to modify to my needs. I have changed the path to where to put the PDF to another folder in the same parent, so i know what is causing the error, however i have no idea what to do with this error or how to remove it.

my $newfilenamepath = "/htdocs/webrequisition/webreq_pdf/";

became

my $newfilenamepath = "/htdocs/webrequisition2/webreq_pdf/";

These folders are there and it is a windows machine so permissions should not be causing a problem.

Sorry to sound like a baby throwing their toys out of the pram, but this is an odd situation, where i know what causes the error, but the error is not telling what is wrong or how to change it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Recently i have been using lots of libraries in lots of languages, and they are good, until it throws an error referencing a line in a library rather than in your code, then they become very cryptic and difficult to work with.

If you're using an absolute path on Windows, shouldn't there be a drive letter involved? Using / like that implies the root of the current drive that the script is being run from. That might not be an issue if the script is on the same drive, but it's something to keep in mind for future reference.
