in reply to Review request for PDF::API2 Tutorial

In the text_block subroutine, doesn't the following line give the width of the digits used to identify the hanging indent rather than the actual size of the hanging indent? ...
my $hang_width = $text_object->advancewidth($arg{'-hang'});
... from pod2text Content.pm ...
$width = $txt->advancewidth $string [, %textstate] Returns the width of the string based on all currently set text-attributes or on those overridden by %textstate.
So, if I call the subroutine with -hang => 30, intending to have a 30 PS point hanging indent, it'll actually set it to the width of the string "30".

Did I find an error, or did I just misunderstand something?

Thanks,
