Just been following the tutorial with v0.40 -- as a working example I was seeing how hard it would be to build a Cissiculum Vitae (Resumé) out of a DB straight to PDF.

I certainly think it's worth CPANing the text_block functionality. Other comments I'd make would be to fix the link up for the full source, and maybe even have a linky to the final result. Of course, you could go a step further and have the example code write the tutorial as a PDF file :)

If you do CPAN the text_block -- make it take a font handle and a font size -- then you can have a default line-height of (say) 1.2em.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
