Hello,
please see the attached file,
the VB code to generate and return character strings
needs to be converted into Perl.
I can then look at making the chars print the PDF417 fonts
with GD.
But I need the PDF417 algorithm to
1) convert,
2) Syntax check
3) Return identical encrypted string results to the vb form.
I,m bogged down with a syntax error I cannot remove.
The Perl does contain dummy function calls to non-existant sub routines which would eventally emulate the VB functions.
PDF417 information can be found at <[login to view URL]>
