If you want Perl to generate a file that can be turned into Postscript,
don't overlook that old stand-by groff. I've used a perl script to
generate groff source for 1000+ page reports.
One of groff's nice features is that you can use the -o option to
print only a subset of the pages--very useful if you have to re-run
a report because the printer jammed on page 999.
