Converting perldoc to postscript

[Mordecai]

What's the best way to do so? I hope to get the default man page
formatting, not the plain text formatting as specified by "-t".
Thanks!

Did you try perldoc -oman ?

But that just gives the default man page formatting (as if without the
option, right?) while what I am trying to get is the postscript
version of that format. Perldoc doesn't seem to provide a simple
option to do so. Any further suggestions?

Generate PostScript rather than HTML. This is done using
HTML::FormatPS and font sizes etc. are not yet specifiable.

Thanks for the solution but I have neither packages installed at
work... Also it seems to be an overkill to convert pod to html first
then to ps. I was hoping to find something that can directly convert
the man page output of "perldoc" to ps, similar to what "man" allows
you to do via the "-t" or "-Tps" option...
