Well, why not use HTML::Template? The name HTML template is something of a misnomer. The template need not be HTML. I use a CSS stylesheet to produce the view I want and then convert to PDF on a PC (WHole app runs on a PC). Of course there is also Template Toolkit which is, by my reading, well suited to producing all sorts of documents. There is now a PDF::Template too. PDF::Api2 is good at actually producing the PDF. Then there is HTML::HTMLDoc which is said to produce PDF from HTML but I haven't actually tried it.

A trip to your friendly local CPAN store will surely supply your needs!

Good luck jdtoronto

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
