Has anyone actually done this and can provide insight? From http://lists.template-toolkit.org/pipermail/templates/2001-April/000857.html

The link at the top of the post pointing to an example is no longer valid. Currently, we are manually creating PDFs on a Windows PC using Excel. I'd like to create a PDF template that I can use on a Unix server and populate the template from a database to create new PDFs for future editions of this report. I do have Perl and DBI installed, though probably not the versions required by Template-Toolkit.
