Re: Creating PDF files with Perl

I am trying to creating PDF files using "HTML::HTMLDoc", that seems to be the easiest one to accomplish this using Perl.

I found it easist to generate LaTeX files with Perl (for example with Text::Template), and run it through pdflatex. Your mileage might vary though.

A similar approach is to use a templating solution, like Template-Toolkit to produce XSL-FO code, and run that trough a converter like FOP. That way one gets a better control over the layout of the resulting document. holli You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.	[reply] [d/l]
