PostScript::File version 2.20, released February 11, 2012 This module produces the outline for an Adobe PostScript file. It provides convenient routines for writing PostScript directly, including reporting PostScript errors and debugging support. Although it may be used independently, the functions provided are also suitable for use in other modules. See one of these modules for a top-level object. PostScript::Calendar PostScript::Report PostScript::Graph::XY PostScript::Graph::Bar Finance::Shares::Chart INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries, although they are all part of the standard Perl distribution: Package Minimum Version -------------- --------------- perl 5.008 Carp Encode 2.21 Exporter 5.57 File::Spec Scalar::Util Sys::Hostname CHANGES Here's what's new in version 2.20 of PostScript::File: (See the file "Changes" for the full revision history.) API improvements: - Added use_functions method, which selects functions from a library provided by new module PostScript::File::Functions. - Added set_min_langlevel method - Added all_comments strip type - Renamed methods add_function, get_functions, & has_function to add_procset, get_procsets, & has_procset. The old names are still available for backwards compatibility, but their use is deprecated. - Multi-line string literals are now protected from comment/whitespace stripping. - Fixed bug: add_preview might strip the preview - Fixed bug: check_tilde treated "0" like the empty string - Private methods bbox_comment, pre_pages, post_pages, & print_file were renamed. You shouldn't have been using them anyway. - The get_ordinal method is now private. While it was formerly documented, it unnecessarily exposed the internals and had no real use. - The documentation has been cleaned up.
