Hi,

Thanks for responding. I've searched for CPAN modules but there isn't any that will edit the PCL files. There's one PCL::Simple to create a PCL file. So, I'm out of option there.

The header of one such file says this: ESC%-12345X@PJL COMMENT HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL

I read somewhere that most of the PCL files begin with this statement but again some files miss this information. I've referred to PCL command reference document to understand the characters in the file. But it appears too tedious to follow the entire PCL file.

Could you tell me what you mean by automating the source application?

Thanks,
Thilak
