off-topic: perl printing

Hello,

I am trying to write a simple report using ActiveState Perl (on NT); the intent is to accept some simple input from a user (throught a perl/Tk form), connect to an Oracle 8.1.6 server on a Sun machine, prepare and execute a SELECT statement, display the results in the perl/Tk form, and also send to a network printer for printing. I have everything working except the printing step.

My questions are:
1) How do you print from perl to an NT networked printer? 2) Would anyone recommend a perl module (for NT) that contains

   several common print formats, and/or shows how to print    to an NT network printer?
3) If someone has an already-existing report similar to what is

   described above, would you be willing to share it?

I have looked through some perl lists for this, and found several similar questions, but very few answers. If someone also knows where I could access documentation relevant to perl printing, that would be very helpful.

Thanks to any responders.
