Chances are this package is NOT going to install properly through CPAN.
There are some dependencies that are not perl things.
Change into the directory holding this file.
perl Makefile.PL
If you see any missing modules like File::Which
cpan File::Which
After that
make test
This should take a minute or more.
If it fails, you may be missing non perl prerequisites...
1) INSTALLING PREREQUISITES
===========================
DEPENDENCIES
ImageMagick convert
xpdf pdfimages
PDF::GetImages
PDF::Burst
CAM::PDF
PDF::API2
There are a few dependencies you will need to meet. Things that are not necessarily perl.
You must install tesseract, and..
Here's what you should have:
t1lib
freetype
freetype-devel
libpaper
libpaper-devel
libpng
xpdf
ghostscript
openmotif

freetype2
Changes are you have most of these.
Misc Notes:
You should also test out pdfimages (from xpdf)
This utility extracts images from a pdf
have to make sure if you build xpdf, that you use
./configure --with-freetype2-includes=/path/to/freetyp2 dir
INSTALLING TESSERACT
You may be able to simply install the SVN version of Tesseract by using:
./runautoconf
mkdir build-directory
cd build-directory
