Yes, there is. You can try generating a vector graphics image (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics ) and then convert it to PostScript or PDF and print it. SVG (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics ) in conjunction with Inkscape may be your best bet, and there are some modules for generating it on CPAN. You can also try generating PostScript directly or using LaTeX, OpenOffice.org or GNU groff. Regards, Shlomi Fish P.S: next time please don't start a new thread by replying to an existing message.
