That looks very interesting. I'd never heard of PDFLib.pm (or, indeed, pdflib). I'll be taking a closer look at them.

One question tho'. You declare a number of package variables with this code:

use vars qw ( $TOPMARGIN $BOTTOMMARGIN $LEFTMARGIN $RIGHTMARGIN $PAGEHEIGHTPOINTS $PAGEWIDTHPOINTS );

And then later you declare a number of lexical variables with the same names with this code:

my $PAGEHEIGHTPOINTS = 842; my $PAGEWIDTHPOINTS = 595; # the size of your page my ($TOPMARGIN, $BOTTOMMARGIN, $LEFTMARGIN, $RIGHTMARGIN) = (10, 10, 15, 15);

You then go on to use the lexical variables, but never the package variables. Is this left over from an earlier version of the code?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
