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?

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).
