Perhaps you should read some of the Tutorials (for example File Input and Output and perhaps Installing Modules) from this site, http://learn.perl.org along with http://perldoc.perl.org are also great resources for learning perl. PDF::Create comes with sample code and documentation showing you how use the module.

hope this helps

In my humble opinion the easies way to generate PDFs from text is to emit LaTeX code, and run that through pdflatex.

I don't know if others (who might not know LaTex yet) agree, though.
