ghenry:
I'm just about to start coding, but I'm excited enough about where I'm going that I figured I'd mention it.
I've decided to use a template toolkit (Happens to be HTML::Template, but that doesn't really matter.) to generate my dynamic data. Then, to get the static side of my reports ready to merge with my dynamic data, I'm looking at PDF::Reuse. That seems really good for my particular purposes, 'cause I can off-load the form generation to any third party who's willing to help. I convert their output (from any app) to PDF, plop my template-generated data on top using XY co-ordinates, and it's off to the races...
Don't know much about your details, but maybe this approach will be at least worth checking out.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
