 Yes. The license basically requires that if you make any changes to
 PDF::ReportWriter, that you submit those changes back to me - ie standard
 open-source license.

 You have script on using it ?

 Yes. The package has example scripts.

XML files? In which XML grammar? (XSL-FO, perhaps?) Or do you mean PDFs?

At the moment, you'll have to write one by hand, or modify one of the
examples. I've always planned on writing a GUI builder, but never had
the time for it.

This is exactly what I wrote PDF::ReportWriter for. It supports grouping
with headers  footers, aggregate functions, intelligent page-breaking (
can't make css do that ), images, lots of text formatting options, PDF
templating, XML report definitions, etc, etc.

Looks cool and can be useful.Thanks for the work.

 Thank you for reading this mail.


In addition to what ficovh said, one option is perhaps to generate a file in 
an intermediate format such as POD, HTML, LaTeX, DocBook/XML, or one of them 
lightweight markup languages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lightweight_markup_languages

And then convert that to PDF using a processor. Generating them should be 
easier than generating PDF, but the entire process may be slower.

You want to read datas from mysql, may use DBI module with DBD::mysql,  
and write them to a PDF file, using module like PDF::Create.


see their documents on CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.609/DBI.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-mysql-4.012/lib/DBD/mysql.pm
