OK, use htmldoc. I have been using it for report generation for four years now. If you can write clean script to generate html, then you will be very impressed by htmldoc's ability to convert html->ps/pdf.
I have been using it for my online student information system. It is used for making letters to parents, customized course selection forms, student profiles, stats reporting, and so on. It is very slick, with tight formatting options, although no CSS yet.
And it means you don't have to learn postscript or another crazy syntax.

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).
