AlexTape has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Monks, actual i look for a proper way to generate and print dynamic barcodes. i found a view modules @cpan but most of them are quite complex. the output should be "code93" plus printable. i thought of generate with HTML::Barcode but iīm not able to print the bc out of the browser. i explicit donīt want to use images! because the printing runs over an invoked session of a texteditor e.g. notepad/editor. (or you got a better idea to use the windows printer environment?) the barcodes should be generated on the fly and printed with some other information on a brother gx430t. i suppose that i probably can use the internal module of the printer to gernerate barcodes directly but the plaintext interaction between windows e.g. perl and the printer is still inscrutable to me. probably you can enlight my mind. :-)
