Eurionize - something PDF::Writer and PostScript libs might like

D

Daniel Berger

I came across this bit of Perl at:

http://wildsparx.com/eurionize/

In short it marks a postscript doc so that it can't be copied by most
color copiers.

Thought someone might want to port it for PDF::Writer or whatever.

Regards,

Dan
