The primary reason I didnt use PDF::Template was because it didnt use PDF::API2 and as such I had problems getting it working. The other thing is that I found the documentation a little bit overwhelming, and since it required obtaining external binaries I decided not to bother investigating deeper. But if it had worked with API2 and as such not required the external libs then I would have probably used it.

Im assuming from your language that PDF::Template is your baby. If so then a tutorial here showing how to generate a simple document book with an outline would be very much appreciated by me and no doubt others as well.
