I'm having problems finding the right module for my situation.

I have a perl web app and I'm wanting to create different dynamic and downloadable pdf's (when the user performs an action, they get the typical "save as..." dialog box). Of course since this is a web app, I don't want to create the files, just the output stream. I've tried Postscript::Simple which gives me the placement control I want, but then I can't figure out how to get the PDF out of it as a scalar without creating the file (I tried Postscript::Convert), and PDF::HTML which gets me the pdf output, but it's not powerful enough to let me control the placement like I want.

I've searched cpan, but so far, haven't found any that will work yet. Can someone point me in the right direction?
