Pure Perl PDF creation module.

[jason]

Are there any Perl modules for creating PDFs that are purely
Perl and don't depend on any 3rd party libs?

Thanks.

PDF::Create. Make sure to use the latest version from sourceforge, not
the CPAN version.

PDFs that are purely Perl? :-)

From <http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/sticks.htm> ("Sticks and Stones,"
reader-contributed examples of actual published writing that's at least as
bad as the deliberate bad writing in the Bulwer-Lytton contest):

"Some true literary atrocities have been committed by nature writers.
Here's a particularly horrible example from Hummingbirds of North America:
Attracting, Feeding, and Photographing Them, by former TV weatherman Dan
True (author of What Do Women Want from Men?), published in 1993 by
University of New Mexico Press:

"Since then I have learned of a very good but very expensive commercial
hummingbird mix for sick hummingbirds from Germany used by the San Diego
zoo called Necton."

Note that there's a good reason that Perl doesn't allow multiple statement
modifiers.
