in reply to multi-page from Tk::Canvas

Here is the basics of how to do it. Notice the change in the @capture region. Turning it into a multipage document, will probably need another module like shown in the second script. You can convert the ps to pdf with ImageMagic, by set('magick'=>'pdf'), and it can be done in blobs(in memory) to avoid temp ps files. Possibly there is a module that will manipulate ps directly, without the pdf conversion.
