OT: writing pdf from perl

I currently have a perl program with which I read an xml file (of dictionary
entries), sort and format the entries and print them out (as html). I then
read the html into openoffice manually add columns and page numbers and
export as pdf.
I would like to automate these last steps and also add individual page
headers based on the first entry on each page. This is beyond what a
word-processor can easily do so I am looking at writing directly to the
printer (or pdf).
I can see how I could so this from C# using the printer classes (and
MeasureString and DrawString etc methods from System.Drawing), but I would
prefer to do it from perl. Any ideas as to any modules that might make this
possible? Ideally I would like something cross platform Windows/Linux. I
have googled and looked at CPAN but not found anything promissing.
