Graff!

Thanks for your excellent feedback.

the version dependency of the tutorial comes across as a rather a serious deficit

Unfortunately the version requirement has nothing to do with me. Version 0.4 of the module will have a new API which the developer hasn't settled yet. Once he has, it should just be a case of replacing the code.

I'd feel better about the example code if it included "use strict" and "use warnings"

You're right, I should have both strict and warnings in there.

a file named "$0.pdf" -- that's probably not a good idea

I'll take that under advisement and probably change it.

checking for failure to open or write the output file

Another excellent point. I have never thought to handle it and I've never had it fail to write in my main project. I'd better do some research, document it in the tutorial and then fix the application here at work!!

your tutorial ... leads me to believe that I could learn in very short time how to use this module

Excellent! That's the aim, so I'm pleased to hear it.

Regarding the content of the example text for the pdf page... um, why in Latin?

It's a typographic convention for when the text doesn't matter. (And it's not quite in latin -- it just looks like it is) See: lorem ipsum
