Subject:    Exception when calling image_pdf with Path::Class::File-object

Hi

When calling image_png an exception is thrown if passed parameter is an object of type Path::Class::File.

Exception:

"Not a GLOB reference at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2/PDF/API2/Resource/XObject/Image/PNG.pm line 35."

Cheers
Christoph

edit: subject line said "image_pdf" -- assuming meant "image_png"  -- Mod.

See also RT 117940. This may be similar, where the request was to allow more than just a filename as the argument (support already-opened filehandle). It should be handled in a consistent manner with all the other image_* calls, so it may mean adding code for object support (if that's possible) to a number of routines.

Depending on whether this is a missing capability in one or more image_* files, or a request for a new class of capability in all the image_* files, this bug might be moved to Feature Requests.

According to the docs, the image_png call takes either a filename or a filehandle.  Path::Class::File isn't either, but if you call the ->open() method on the object, it should work.
