No strictily related to the actualy code redesign: I just installed PDF::Template last night, and I have NO clue how to even start because there don't seem to be any examples at all. So for me, Examples of whatever you do choose as the layout. I like the XML layout, but it should be XML, not psuedo XML. psuedo XML does no one any good (i just mention this because the docs for PDF::Template say it isn't realy XML (not sure how true that is anymore).

I wonder if HTML could be used as the layout, is there some free HTML->Layout Tree converter that could be used? Just rambling in case it makes sense. Being able to design once in HTML and be done would be very pretty ;)

Err looking at the source shows an example now....Did you just add that?
