I have a Perl script that generates an HTML page and sends it to a
recipient via email. I would prefer to send the recipient a pdf document
instead of the HTML page. Is there "an easy" method of doing this within
the Perl script?

TIA, Herb

I suppose you checked http://search.cpan.org/search?query=PDF&mode=all
already?

Yes, thank you I have. As a Perl neophyte, I was prompted to ask because
of the existence of multiple modules and my confusion at which one to
select.

Thanks for answering my question.

Check out the "Converting HTML to PDF with Webkit" thread of last week,
especially the answers by Dr.Ruud ;-)

Thanks, John, I did. It appears that webkit is an external program that
reads a screen and converts it to pdf. I need to do this within Perl, on
my remote (CGI) server.
