It's not refusing to use a string as a number -- it's refusing to use a
string as an array reference.
>From a quick look at the code, it seems something is wrongly overwriting
the PostScript::TextBlock object you create with a "1", so that later uses
that expect it to be an array fail. You'd need to debug and track down
what wrongly overwrites the object to fix it. Given that it's a fairly
simple module, it may not be that hard to find the problem.
There are many other PostScript-generation packages on CPAN, but I doubt
any use the same API as this one.
One I've used is PostScript::BasicTypesetter.
