Hi, I have one xml file, I extracted some comments and saved in pdf file.I written code like this 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
    use PDF::API2;
 use PDF::API2::Page;
 use XML::LibXML::Reader;
use Data::Dumper;

my $file;
open( $file, 'formal.xml');
    my $reader = XML::LibXML::Reader->new( IO => $file ) or die ("unab
+le to open file");
    my %nums;
while ($reader->nextElement( 'Number' )) {
    my $number = $reader->copyCurrentNode(1)->textContent;

    $reader->nextElement( 'address' ); 
    my $node = $reader->copyCurrentNode(1); 
    my $infohash = {
        house  => $node->getElementsByTagName( 'housenumber' )[0]->tex
+tContent,
        street => $node->getElementsByTagName( 'streetname'  )[0]->tex
+tContent,
    };
    $nums{$number} = $infohash;
}     "syntax error here "}"
 my $pdf = PDF::API2->new(); 
 # $pdf->mediabox('Letter');
my $font = $pdf->corefont('Times-Roman');
my $page = $pdf->page();
$page->mediabox('Letter');
my $cnt=0;
for my $line (split /\n/, Dumper(%nums)) {
   if ($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;
}
