Perl scripts which build dynamic data for a web site, and are already coded
to return HTML data, can benefit from offering PDF output options to users.

work of transforming HTML into PDF, can bring this value added feature to
your web site with a minimum of additional Perl coding.

elegant solution in the world -- sometimes, though, sheer functionality and
the smile on your little user's faces is worth more than any elegance!
