To say that the documentation on this package is terrible would falsely imply that it existed at all ... A meditation or two have tried to gather some info on this package, but neither is this deep in the PDF::API2 tree.

That said, I'll dig in a little. The pod contains a promising function, and diving into the guts shows that it will take all of your options except -type and -text. I don't know if you will need them to get the output you are looking for. Maybe the following will help: 

use PDF::API2;

my $pdf = PDF::API2->new(-file => 'barcode.pdf');
my $bc = $pdf->xo_codabar(
    -font => $pdffont,
    -code => $code,
    -quzn => $quzn,
    -umzn => $umzn,    
    -lmzn => $lmzn,    # fontsize at bottom
    -zone => $zone,
    -ofwt => $owft,
    -fnsz => $fnsz,
    -spcr => $spcr,
);
$pdf->save();

Updated: So naturally, another example appears the next day. Doesn't directly help with this problem, but I'm adding the link here just to keep track of it.
