You're looking for a Perl syntax formatter/highlighter for printing. Here are some vague suggestions. Hopefully one of them will fit the bill. If not, perhaps you can chain them together to satisfy your needs. * Kate - KDE editor. Supports syntax highlighting for Perl. [colorify] * perltidy - (http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/) Perl script which indents and reformats Perl code, making it easier to read [indentify] * Webcpp - A command line utility that takes your source code and converts it into an HTML file using a fully customizable syntax highlighting engine and colour schemes. [colorify] I envision piping your code through a combination of perltidy -> webcpp -> html2ps -> lp.
