Oohh, Perl + LaTeX = Yum!
Have you thought about taking a look at what the Sql-Ledger people are using? It seems to me that they are using perl to fill in and "compile" LaTEX templates to postscript and then passing the result off to Ghostscript to make the PDF.
I was actually thinking about doing the very same (to write cover letters) and had almost started working on it, and then had forgotten it. Thanks for reminding me. Could you possibly provide more details and/or pointers?

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.
