Maybe you can tell me where you have problems. The documentation mentions exactly one occurrence of new_page_func in code. My code snippet also mentions one occurrence of new_page_func. Do you have problems to string the two occurrences together into one consecutive whole?

I don't have PDF::Table installed, so I can't test any code. I will just take the synopsis and put my part into it:

($end_page, $pages_spanned, $table_bot_y) = $pdftable->table(
     $pdf,               # A PDF::API2 instance
     $page_to_start_on,  # A PDF::API2::Page instance created with $pa
+ge_to_start_on = $pdf->page(); 
     $data,              # 2D arrayref of text strings
     x  => $left_edge_of_table,    #X - coordinate of upper left corne
+r
     w  => 570, # width of table.
     start_y => $initial_y_position_on_first_page,
     next_y  => $initial_y_position_on_every_new_page,
     start_h => $table_height_on_first_page,
     next_h  => $table_height_on_every_new_page,
     #OPTIONAL PARAMS BELOW
     max_word_length=> 20,   # add a space after every 20th symbol in 
+long words like serial numbers
     padding        => 5,    # cell padding
     padding_top    => 10,   # top cell padding, overides padding
     padding_right  => 10,   # right cell padding, overides padding
     padding_left   => 10,   # left cell padding, overides padding
     padding_bottom => 10,   # bottom padding, overides -padding
     border         => 1,    # border width, default 1, use 0 for no b
+order
     border_color   => 'red',# default black
     font           => $pdf->corefont("Helvetica", -encoding => "utf8"
+), # default font
     font_size      => 12,
     font_color_odd => 'purple',
     font_color_even=> 'black',
     background_color_odd  => 'gray',         #cell background color f
+or odd rows
     background_color_even => 'lightblue',     #cell background color 
+for even rows
     new_page_func  => sub {
          ...
     },  # see section TABLE SPANNING
     header_props   => $hdr_props, # see section HEADER ROW PROPERTIES
     column_props   => $col_props, # see section COLUMN PROPERTIES
     cell_props     => $row_props, # see section CELL PROPERTIES
