in reply to PostScript and Modifying Fonts

Check CPAN under Postscript::. Perhaps Postscript::Simple may be what you want?

cheers

    All of the Postscript:: modules I can find are for generating new postscript files. I can't find a single one that indicates it can open an existing postscript file for editing.

    (Note: perhaps Postscript::Document can do that, but it doesn't seem to have a POD, and I didn't bother reading all of the source)

    a google search for "perl postscript fix" lead to a lot of little one off scripts for "fixing" postscript files, which may lend inspiration.

      That being the case how about converting to a similar format like PDF using something like PStill and then using some of the PDF:: modules to open and manipulate the file?

      cheers
