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.

Re: Background color in textlabel()?
You could add a rectangle of white over the unwanted area before adding your new text:
$gfx->strokecolor('white'); $gfx->fillcolor('white'); $gfx->linewidth(0); $gfx->rectxy(161, 84, 161+(72*18/10), 84+7); # above assumes longest previous date is 18 chars at 10cpi $gfx->fillstroke();
I would also recommend adding the new date in the ISO8601 format to avoid confusion, particularly if the documents will have readers throughout the world.
