[ale] Perl Question

Does anyone have experience with sending escape sequences or the like for
HP printers via Perl?

Example - I have some reports that I would like to print in a landscape
view.  Back in the dark ages (when I ran a lot of dBase code) to do a
landscape print was:

@1,1 SAY CHR(27) + CHR(38) + CHR(108) + CHR(49) + CHR(79)

I would like to be able to do something similar with Perl.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards - Bob Kruger
