Non-perl answer: I use the emacs (since you ask for postscript, I suspect you might be on a linux system) calendar mode. It can create tex files (which can be made into postscript) in many formats. http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/localfiles/infofiles/emacs/emacs_384.html I then use a small wrapper script to have emacs compile my (monthly for me) calendar Read more...

It's not Perl, and it doesn't do Postscript day-at-a-glance pages out of the box, but you might want to check out remind. This is what I use, but I get along fine with the monthly calendar (Postscript, HTML, and plaintext) and the plain-text daily view. Since it does have code for generating Postscript monthly calendars, you might be able to adapt it to generate a daily view. On a more Perlish front, parsing the output of "remind -s" and using PostScript::Simple to generate your daily view might be more appropriate.

You could either use one of the Postscript modules to write a planner, or since I am familiar with Tk, I would say write up a Tk script to print out your plan from a hash into a text widget, then save them as postscript. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]
