Looking at the docs for PDF::TextBlock, the apply method returns the text that didn't fit in the block. So I'd suggest following the apply with apply in a loop to create a new page as long as overflow isn't empty. I've not used the module before, but from the docs it appears that it should be something like this:

my ($endw, $ypos, $overflow) = $tb->apply();
while ($overflow ne '') {
   $tb = PDF::TextBlock->new( ... );
   $tb->text("<i>Continued...</i><br/>" . $overflow);
   ($endw, $ypos, $overflow) = $tb->apply();
}

Since the text on successive pages are a continuation, you may want to alter the starting position and size of your text block, as well as handle any 'continued' message(es).

Update: Added a missing space (applyin --> apply in).
