Hi Rich,

You might want to look at LifeLines and its reports. There is a 
lines2perl convertor that takes a LifeLines report can converts it to a 
Perl script using Gedcom.pm

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Gedcom/lib/Gedcom/LifeLines.pm
https://github.com/pjcj/Gedcom.pm/blob/master/lines2perl

I wrote a bunch of reports for LifeLines years ago as did others and you 
might find some reports that are close to what you want. And after you 
convert them to Perl, they might be easy to modify.

There are a bunch of famrep* which are variations on family group report 
pages.
