The module looks promising. When trying the pdf() method I get the
following error message:

## Can't locate object method "hybrid" via package "PDF::API2::Page" at /tmp/Tk/Canvas/PDF.pm line 271

both with the stable and the development versions of PDF::API2.
Replacing the hybrid() method by gfx() made the module work.

Lines, circles and rectangles of all shapes seem to work, while
polygons are not handled correctly (it seems that rectangles are used
instead of polygons).
