See the attachment of my previous post. It's not click&install! 
There are too files: PDF.pm and rgb.pm. PDF.pm is intended to be 
placed in a directory structure Tk/Canvas/PDF.pm while rgb.pm is in 
Tk/rgb.pm. Take these attachments and install them somewhere in 
your PERLLIB to the above subdirectories.

In your code, you would ten

use Tk;
use Tk::Canvas::PDF;
...
$canvas->pdf( ...arguments... ); 

see the POD info in PDF.pm for the arguments syntax. If in doubt, 
look at the code. 

I'm sorry, as I said, the module isn't ready for deployment, you'll 
have to invest some time to find out how to use it.
