This is a Perl program that can be used to print texts on labels and envelopes. It generates PostScript output. Features: - label and envelope formats can be defined in a configuration file - repeating text on labels - multi-pass printing of label sheets - prints KIX barcodes for dutch addresses Installation: unpack the kit, and type the following commands in the directory created by unpacking: perl Makefile.PL make all test This program requires PostScript::Font version 1.03 or later. It requires a Unix PostScript Resources file (.upr) to find the necessary info for the fonts used. Adapt times.upr to your local situation, and type: make all test Now tailor blib/script/labels if needed: - Change the location of the site configuration file. This is pre-set to "/usr/local/lib/labels.cfg". Now type "make install". Note that this command usually requires super user privilege. Inspect and edit the configuration file labels.cfg, and place it in a location where the program can find it. The program looks for a configuration file in one of the following places: .labels.cfg $HOME/.labels.cfg /usr/local/lib/labels.cfg The first non-empty file found will be used.
