veerubiji:

I can't help you with the module installation (I don't use strawberry perl), but here's a way to convert your data from an XML file into a PDF:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use PDF::API2;

my $var1 = <<<<< set up your data here >>>>>

my $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
$pdf->mediabox('Letter');
my $font = $pdf->corefont('Helvetica-Bold');
my $page = $pdf->page();
my $cnt=0;
for my $line (split /\n/, Dumper($var1)) {
   if ($cnt > 46) {
      $page = $pdf->page();
      $cnt=0;
   }
   my $text = $page->text();
   $text->font($font,14);
   $text->translate(72, 720-$cnt*14);
   $text->text($line);
   ++$cnt;
}
$pdf->saveas('veerubiji.pdf');
