Check out PDF::Labels I've been using that with good success in a mapping program at work. You graphically select the properties you want to mail something to, optionally add a buffer and then generate the PDF of labels. One note, in Acrobat Reader you want to uncheck shrink to fit page or anything similar in the print options. This seems to screw up the alignment. When that option is unchecked it seems to work fine on all printers.
It comes with a number of predefined formats the first one matches Avery 5160 and 5260 I think. If you look at the source to the module it'll give you descriptions of each format.
There are also some modules for doing this with PostScript I believe.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
