I have a releated question which, like this one, is really only tangentially a perl question: I have several perl and mod_perl driven online MySQL databases. People want to print mailing labels, which requires fairly percise formated output. So far I've just been dumping data to tab delemited sets so people can import and print labels locally. Is there a good reliable module/routine/method for creating reliably accurate and percise formatted output, something like creating an RTF document on the fly?? -- d
