PDF::Template (Hangs when content reaches second page)
I'm trying to learn PDF:Template in order to automate some PDF production (phone lists, price lists, the like0). The following code works great until the content reaches the end of the page, then it appears to hang indefinitaly and according to top its not even using up a ton of resources.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use PDF::Template;
my $pdf = PDF::Template->new(filename => 'report.xml');
my $loop = [];
push @$loop, {Name => "Test" , Address => rand} for 1..80;
$pdf->param( records => $loop );
print header(-type=>'application/pdf'), $pdf->get_buffer;
TEmplate:
Hello World |
|
Any ideas?

My criteria for good software:
- don't have a good testsuite
- are using an API that's been deprecated
- haven't touched a module in 2 years
My criteria for good software:
- Does it work?
- Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
