I forgot to add the piece of code I have for now:
UserTag generate-pdf addAttr
UserTag generate-pdf Routine <<EOF
sub {
require HTML::HTMLDoc;
my $htmldoc = new HTML::HTMLDoc(mode=>'file');
$htmldoc->set_html_content(qq~<html><body>A PDF file</body></html>~);
my $pdf = $htmldoc->generate_pdf();
$pdf->to_file('foo.pdf');}
EOF
