I had to scan a bunch of paper documents (one image per page), and upload them all to a web site that would accept only one PDF file containing the whole set. A few CPAN module can do this, but their man pages leave a lot to the imagination. After a dozen trial/error iterations, here's what worked for me, using PDF::Create (it's manual was much better than PDF::API2).
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use PDF::Create;
my $pdf = new PDF::Create(filename=>"test.pdf",Author=>"Me");
my $psz = $pdf->get_page_size("Letter");
my $rt = $pdf->new_page( MediaBox => $psz );
for my $i (<*.jpg>) {
my $im = $pdf->image($i);
my $pg = $rt->new_page( MediaBox => $psz );
$pg->image( image => $im,
xpos => 0, ypos => 0,
xscale => $$psz[2] / $$im{width},
yscale => $$psz[3] / $$im{height}
);
}
$pdf->close;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
