I'm trying to get the program below to work on aix with perl 5.6.0 and am getting the following error:

Can't call method "outfilt" on an undefined value at /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.0/PDF/API2/PDF/Dict.pm line 155.

The crazy thing is, i run the exact same thing under windows 2000 with activeperl and it works fine...

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use PDF::API2;

my $pdf  = PDF::API2->new(-file => "$0.pdf");
$pdf->mediabox(595,842);
my $page = $pdf->page;
my $fnt = $pdf->corefont('Arial',-encoding => 'latin1'); 
my $txt = $page->hybrid;
$txt->textstart;
$txt->font($fnt, 20);
$txt->translate(100,800);
$txt->text("Text left-aligned 0123456789");
$txt->translate(500,750);
$txt->text_right("0123456789 Text right-aligned");
$txt->translate(300,700);
$txt->text_center("Text center-aligned");
$txt->textend;
$pdf->save;
$pdf->end();

any suggestions would be most appreciated.
