I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Background color in textlabel()?
I took a quick look at the textlabel() method in the documentation and I see no where that setting the background color of the text label is allowed. What I'm trying to do is overlay a date on top of an existing one in the PDF. Since the date format can vary, locating the element and removing it seems like not the best approach. Is this possible at all? Am I using the wrong approach? Here's some of the code that I'm using:
my $pdf = PDF::API2->open( $file ); my $page = $pdf->openpage( 1 ); my $font = $pdf->corefont( "Arial" ); my $dlab = $page->gfx; # Set date. $dlab->textlabel( 161, 84, $font, 7, $date->month_name . " " . $date->day . ", " . $date->year, -align => 'right' );
