[MacPerl] pod2pdf - someone interested?

[Axel Rose <rose@sj.com>]

Hello folks,

I'm seriously considering to write a helper to convert POD documentation
into Adobe's PDF format, which (mind!) doesn't make use of the commercial
distiller.

Instead it uses Thomas Merz (www.pdflib.com) library which is available
and usable with MacPerl too. (it's available in C++, Java, Perl, Python on
different platforms too, under Aladdin Free Public license). That way you
can write PDF directly, no need to write intermediate PS files.

I'm not sure whether there is a real need for such a conversion.

I personally don't like printing HTML pages (pod2html) and simple 
text files (copy&past to your editor) miss a lot of functionality.

So please let me know if you are interested.


Axel
