| I need to print some mailing labels and include an image of a barcode
on the label. I'd like some suggestions on modules to use, I've
never used perl to print anything before. (Creating a PDF or
something in the right way would be fine too).
Thanks!

Did you bother to type "barcode" into search.cpan.org before posting
your question?

Try searching on http://search.cpan.org. I found one module that may
be of partial help to you GD::Barcode. It can create images of
barcodes. You would still need to generate the postscript or pdf
file. PDFLib is a module that may be able to help you there, good
luck.

| I looked around on CPAN. I'm already using GD::Barcode to create the
barcode, I'm more concerned about the formatting to get the labels
printed correctly. I'll look at PDFLib some more.
Thanks!

snip
If the barcode is supposed to be the USPS barcode for the address then
PostScript::MailLabel seems to have all of the bases covered.
