NAME
PostScript::FontInfo - module to fetch data from PostScript font .inf files
SYNOPSIS
my $info = new PostScript::FontInfo (filename, options);
print STDOUT ("Name = ", $info->name, "\n");DESCRIPTION

CONSTRUCTOR
OPTIONS
- error => [ 'die' | 'warn' | 'ignore' ]
-
DEPRECATED. Please use 'eval { ... }' to intercept errors.
How errors must be handled. Default is to call die(). In any case, new() returns a undefined result. Setting 'error' to 'ignore' may cause surprising results.
- verbose => value
-
Prints verbose info if value is true.
- trace => value
-
Prints tracing info if value is true.
- debug => value
-
Prints debugging info if value is true. Implies 'trace' and 'verbose'.
