oh, I'm sorry I failed to put a "..." at the top of the code. This is just a piece of code I dropped off the top of my head. I do use warnings in all of my code, and I had a problem using strict with some Tk modules, so I took it out. I didn't realize that PDF::API2::Content came with PDF::API2, or I would have checked the CPAN link above. I did know it existed, I just thought that was yet another dependency my friends would need to install and skipped it. So far the PDF generation is smooth and they look great! Now with the $scale and PDF::API2::Content $gfx()->image $img $x $y $scale -- I'm sure things will be much much nicer! :) Thanks guys!
