Use PERL to get file's Title?

[rxsid]

Hi all,

Can PERL be used to get a file's Title (found in the documents summary property box)? I know about using stat -f to get a file's last access time, build time, permissions, etc. but that function can't return a documents Title.

Specifically, I need to be able to retrieve the title (not the file name) from .pdf files in a directory.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just offhand, have you checked CPAN for modules that deal directly with pdf's? I'm sure that if there is, the functionality you're asking for is probably there. Have a look.
