Ah, maybe warn is being trapped.  What if you change that "warn" to
"print STDERR".

On the other hand maybe it's not returning an error code.  Try first
from the command line.  So if your problem pdf is called "bad.pdf" you
can try with:

  pdfinfo bad.pdf || echo "It's bad"

I assume pdfinfo or pdftotext is returning an error code.

You might also add to your "run_program was here!" message $self->name
and @_ to see more what's happening:

  print STDERR "run_program: params are [@_] and document is " . $self->name;
