in reply to Parsing DXF files for dimensional information

I am not aware of a (pure) Perl solution but I believe you can solve your problem by using the GDAL (www.gdal.org) library. It can open and understand a wide variety of geospatial formats, and you could in principle export from DXF to a format from which you can extract coordinates easily, as for example ShapeFile or GeoJSON.
