  Description     : Perl interface to the htmldoc program for producing PDF-Files from HTML-Content

This Module provides an OO-interface to the htmldoc program.

You can use it to produce PDF or PS files from a HTML-document.  Currently
many but not all parameters of HTMLDoc are supported.

You need to have HTMLDoc installed before installing this module.

All the pdf-Methods return true for success or false for failure. You can
test if errors occurred by calling the error-method.

Normaly this module uses IPC::Open3 for communacation with the HTMLDOC
process. However, in mod_perl-environments there appear problems with this
module because the standard-output can not be captured. For this problem
this module provides a fix doing the communication in file-mode.
