PostScript::Simple allows you to have a simple method of writing PostScript
files from Perl. It has graphics primitives that allow lines, curves,
circles, polygons and boxes to be drawn. Text can be added to the page using
standard PostScript fonts.

The images can be single page EPS files, or multipage PostScript files. The
image size can be set by using a recognised paper size ("A4", for example) or
by giving dimensions. The units used can be specified ("mm" or "in", etc) and
are the same as those used in TeX. The default unit is a bp, or a PostScript
point, unlike TeX.
