Write( ) — return the PostScript code for a document

Synopsis

$doc->Write()

The Write( ) method will generate the PostScript code for the document and return it as a string. In general, you will want to use the Write( ) method to write the code to a file that can be sent to a printer or other PostScript interpreter. You could do this like in the following, which writes the PostScript code to a file called psoutput.ps:

open OUT, '>psoutput.ps' or die "Couldn't open psoutput.ps: $!";
my $code = $doc->Write();
print OUT $code;
